Urine cytology is a widely used adjunct diagnostic tool, but its clinical use is restricted due to limited sensitivity in detecting low-grade tumors and high false negatives. In the study ...

Investigators compared a urinary DNA methylation test with the nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22) and urine cytology tests.

A urinary DNA methylation test displayed superior sensitivity for detecting high-grade or invasive bladder cancer, compared with the nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22) test or urine cytology test.
