To compare nuclear matrix protein 22 expression by BladderChek® and ELISA, as urine-based assays for bladder cancer (BC) detection.
Urine samples of 100 BC patients and 100 controls were analyzed. Comparative statistical evaluations were based on sensitivity and specificity.
Seventy-one patients had primary and 29 recurrent BC. The sensitivity of BladderChek® was significantly higher compared to ELISA in the overall cancer cohort and in patients with primary BC (p<0.0001 and p=0.0001, respectively). Both tests demonstrated significant correlation of sensitivities and tumor stage/grade for the overall cancer cohort and for patients with primary BC. Both tests had specificity values of 100% in healthy individuals. Specificity was 93% for BladderChek® and 99% for ELISA in patients with benign diseases (p=0.048).
BladderChek® may be clinically more useful for BC detection. Due to high specificity, BladderChek® could be used for high-risk screening. However, due to its low sensitivity, BladderChek® cannot replace but only complement cystoscopy for BC detection.
比较核基质蛋白 22 (NMP22)表达的 BladderChek® 和 ELISA 检测方法,作为膀胱癌(BC)的尿液检测方法。
分析了 100 例 BC 患者和 100 例对照者的尿液样本。基于敏感性和特异性进行了对比统计学评价。
71 例患者为初发性膀胱癌,29 例为复发性膀胱癌。与 ELISA 相比,BladderChek®在整体癌症队列和初发性膀胱癌患者中的敏感性显著更高(p<0.0001 和 p=0.0001)。两种检测方法在整体癌症队列和初发性膀胱癌患者中均显示敏感性与肿瘤分期/分级显著相关。在健康个体中,两种检测方法的特异性均为 100%。在良性疾病患者中,BladderChek®的特异性为 93%,ELISA 的特异性为 99%(p=0.048)。
BladderChek®可能在 BC 检测方面更具临床应用价值。由于其特异性高,BladderChek®可用于高危人群的筛查。然而,由于其敏感性低,BladderChek®不能替代但可补充膀胱镜检查用于 BC 检测。
