Performance of Urinary Markers in Patients With Suspicious Cystoscopy During Follow-up of Recurrent Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer: BTA Stat, NMP22 BladderChek, UBC Rapid Test, CancerCheck UBC Rapid VISUAL, and Uromonitor in Comparison to Cytology.

Objective: To compare all available rapid tests on a large cohort of recurrent bladder cancer during follow-up in this multicentre-study is the first study. BTA stat, NMP22 BladderChek, UBC Rapid Test CancerCheck UBC rapid VISUAL, and uromonitor are urinary-based rapid tests for bladder cancer detection.

Methods: In total, 187 urine samples were analyzed from patients with suspected recurrent non-muscle invasive urothelial bladder cancer on cystoscopy during follow-up in a real-world assessment.

Trophoblast cell surface antigen-2: a promising new biomarker and potential therapeutic target in penile squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective: To evaluate the potential utility of antibody-drug conjugates targeting trophoblast cell surface antigen-2 (TROP-2) in patients with primary penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC), patients with recurrence (REC cohort), and patient-matched distant metastases (MET cohort), and to assess the potential use of TROP-2 as a predictive non-invasive biomarker in PSCC.

Methods: A cohort comprising a PRIM (n = 37), REC (n = 5) and MET subcohort (n = 7), with MET including lymph node and lung metastases, was analysed using quantitative real-time PCR, ELISA and immunohistochemical staining with evaluation of H-score.

Results: TROP-2 mRNA and serum protein levels were significantly increased in primary and recurrent PSCC compared to cancer-free controls (both P < 0.

BTA stat®, NMP22® BladderChek®, UBC® Rapid Test, and CancerCheck® UBC® rapid VISUAL as urinary marker for bladder cancer: Final results of a German multicenter study.

Introduction And Objective: BTA stat®, NMP22® BladderChek®, UBC® Rapid Test, and CancerCheck® UBC® rapid VISUAL are urinary-based rapid tests. This multicenter study is the first study comparing all available rapid tests on a large cohort of bladder cancer patients and healthy controls in one setting.

Methods: In total 732 urine samples (second morning urine) in a real-world assessment have been analyzed.

Prediction of Response to Cisplatin-Based Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy of Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer Patients by Molecular Subtyping including KRT and FGFR Target Gene Assessment.

Patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma achieving pathological complete response (pCR) upon neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) have improved prognosis. Molecular subtypes of bladder cancer differ markedly regarding sensitivity to cisplatin-based chemotherapy and harbor FGFR treatment targets to various content. The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether preoperative assessment of molecular subtype as well as FGFR target gene expression is predictive for therapeutic outcome—rate of ypT0 status—to justify subsequent prospective validation within the “BladderBRIDGister”.
