Benefits of biomarkers
in NMIBC monitoring
Urinary biomarker tests can detect bladder cancer recurrence and optimise clinical decision-making.
Recent developments in medical diagnostics aim to significantly reduce the number and frequency of invasive procedures, alleviating the heavy burden for the patient and physician.
Due to the high frequency of recurrence, NMBIC surveillance is crucial. The current guidelines recommend cystoscopy and cytology, although many high-risk (carcinoma in situ) tumours are missed and the regular invasive procedures pose a significant burden for the patient.
This is where reliable urinary biomarkers come into play.
A simple urine sample is sufficient to reveal vital information on NMIBC recurrence. The ideal biomarker test is an excellent aid to cystoscopy and can safely reduce the number of hospital visits.
