Abstract

See full text

A urinary biomarker for urinary tract cancers and applications of the same are revealed. TACSTD2 is used as a non-invasive urinary biomarker for urinary tract cancers due to a feature that the TACSTD2 protein is increased significantly in urine of patients with urinary tract cancers. The quantitative urinary biomarker shows high specificity and high sensitivity for urinary tract cancer detection. Besides increasing screening efficiency, early diagnosis and early treatment of urinary tract cancers, the biomarker can also be used to assess malignancy of urinary tract cancers and monitor tumor progression for determining optimal treatment against the disease and improving the treatment results.
