Abstract

The article looks at the future prospects in the urine-based markers in bladder cancer. Primarily, the authors discuss selected evolving markers that include survivin, DNA-based methylation assays, c-Met and BLCA-4. They opine that while these markers appear to raise hope, this is tempered by the reality that more studies are necessitated to further validate their effectiveness.
