Abstract:
Bladder cancer is a common type of tumor in the urinary system. Its incidence has been increasing and the disease has a high rate of recurrence. Cystoscopy and cytology are the main methods for the diagnosis and the early detection of recurrence for bladder transitional cell carcinoma. Since cystoscopy is expensive and invasive, and although cytology is non-invasive but it is not very sensitive, many tumor makers have recently been studied in the diagnosis of the disease. So how to choose tumor makers with high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of the disease so that the patients with bladder cancer could be treated at the earliest stages is important, the biomarkers may play a very important role in clinical application. In this review we discussed the development of biomarkers for bladder cancer.
