Is NMP 22 a screening test used in the follow-up protocol for recidives of bladder cancer? Comparative study with ultrasound examination

Introduction: Almost half of the patients with bladder cancer have local recidives. The postoperative protocol for the follow-up of the recidives consists in a combination of methods and procedures as it is not possible to detect a recurrence using only one method. Objectives: Many researchers try to evaluate other non-invasive methods for the detections of the recidives as the method using the NMP 22 protein. This test can increase the sensitivity of the recidives detection in urothelial cancer. The purpose of the study is to present the test sensitivity in the detection of low grade tumors, using the ultrasoun…
