We reviewed the literature on Bladder Tumor Antigen (BTA Trak and STat) tests to evaluate the usefulness of such tests in the diagnosis and follow-up of bladder cancer and to compare these tests to routine diagnostic tools. We also report our experience on BTA tests in monitoring tumor recurrence of superficial bladder cancer in 194 patients: a correlation between an augmented risk of tumor recurrence and serial measurements of BTA Trak and positive BTA Stat have been identified. According to the available data, BTA tests can be useful in the diagnosis and follow-up of superficial bladder cancer.
我们回顾了关于膀胱肿瘤抗原(BTA Trak和STat)检测的文献,以评估此类检测在膀胱癌诊断和随访中的实用性,并将这些检测与常规诊断工具进行比较。我们还报告了我们对194例浅表性膀胱癌患者进行BTA检测以监测肿瘤复发的经验:已确定肿瘤复发风险增加与BTA Trak的系列测量及BTA Stat阳性之间存在相关性。根据现有数据,BTA检测在浅表性膀胱癌的诊断和随访中可能有用。
