Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2003 May-Aug;22(5-8):987-9. doi: 10.1081/NCN-120022719.
Extracts of urinary nucleosides have been sequentially purified and examined by mass spectrometric analysis. Seventeen modified nucleosides have been unequivocally identified and a further five provisionally identified. While several nucleosides were found only in a small number of extracts, the occurrence and levels of others were found to correlate with the tumour type and stage.
