Surveillance for recurrent bladder cancer using a point-of-care proteomic assay
Article Abstract:
Patients with a history of bladder cancer have recurrences, so rigorous surveillance is necessary. The investigation is conducted whether a point-of-care proteomic test that measures the nuclear matrix protein NMP22 in voided urine could improve the detection of recurrence during monitoring of patients with a history of bladder cancer and it is found that the noninvasive point-of-care assay for elevated urinary NMP22 protein can increase the ability to detect recurrent bladder cancer.

Detection of bladder cancer using a point-of-care proteomic assay
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to investigate whether a point-of-care proteomic test that measures the nuclear matrix protein NMP22 in voided urine could enhance detection of malignancy in patients with risk factors or symptoms of bladder cancer. It was concluded that the noninvasive point-of-care assay for elevated urinary NMP22 protein could increase the accuracy of cystoscopy.

Relevance of urine telomerase in the diagnosis of bladder cancer
Article Abstract:
A relatively simple, inexpensive, and accurate test that measures telomerase activity in voided urine to apply to large-scale screening programs for bladder detection is developed. The test represents a potentially useful noninvasive diagnostic innovation for bladder cancer detection in high-risk groups such as habitual smokers or in symptomatic patients.
