Testing for urinary hyaluronate improves detection and grading of transitional cell carcinoma

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study is to establish a method for the diagnosis and grading of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), which is responsible for 90% of bladder tumors, using a recently developed ultrasensitive assay for the measurement of hyaluronan (HA). Materials and methods Urin...
