Summary
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to measure the diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) of a panel of five methylated gene promoters in urine samples for the detection of bladder cancer , whose sensitivity and specificity has been proven when studied in a separate fashion. Ideally, this would lead to the development of a DNA methylation-based diagnostic protocol in urine samples and optimisation of its sensitivity and specificity.
