Our data indicate that bladder cancer antigen may be a more potent diagnostic marker for bladder cancer than NMP22 and the BTA stat test based on the higher sensitivity for detecting low stage and low grade tumors, and the higher specificity. The contribution of these tests for detection of bladder cancer should still be considered adjunctive to cystoscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
