title: Biochemically detectable tumor markers in urine of bladder cancer patients.
abstract: Potential biochemical markers excreted in the urine of bladder cancer patients have been considered, with the conclusion that none alone has yet proven to be useful as a screening procedure for the detection of urothelial cancer. Quantitative fluctuations in urinary levels of several of these markers in combination, such as pseudouridine, beta-amino-isobutyric acid, and fibrinogen degradation products, appear to be valuable in the assessment of the treatment of bladder cancer patients and in helping to predict recurrences in these patients.
