The costly and burdensome nature of the current follow-up methods in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) drives the development of new methods that may alternate with regular cystoscopy and urine cytology. The Uromonitor-V2 is a new urine-based assay in the detection of hotspot mutations in three genes (, , and ) for evaluation of disease recurrence. The aim of this study was to investigate the Uromonitor-V2's performance in detecting NMIBC recurrence and compare it with urine cytology. From February 2018 to September 2019 patients were enrolled. All subjects underwent a standard-of-care (SOC) cystoscopy, either as part of their follow-up for NMIBC or for a nonmalignant urological pathology. Urine cytology was performed in NMIBC patients. Out of the 105 patients enrolled, 97 were eligible for the study. Twenty patients presented nonmalignant lesions, 29 had a history of NMIBC with disease recurrence, and 49 had a history of NMIBC without recurrence. In NMIBC, the Uromonitor-V2 displayed a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of 93.1%, 85.4%, 79.4%, and 95.3%, respectively. Urine cytology was available for 52 patients, and the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were 26.3%, 90.9%, 62.5%, and 68.2%, respectively. With its high NPV of 95.3%, the Uromonitor-V2 revealed promising properties for the follow-up of patients with NMIBC.
非肌肉浸润性膀胱癌(NMIBC)当前随访方法成本高昂且负担沉重,这推动了可能替代常规膀胱镜检查和尿液细胞学检查的新方法的开发。Uromonitor-V2是一种基于尿液的新检测方法,用于检测三个基因(、和)中的热点突变以评估疾病复发。本研究的目的是调查Uromonitor-V2在检测NMIBC复发方面的性能,并将其与尿液细胞学检查进行比较。从2018年2月至2019年9月招募患者。所有受试者均接受了标准治疗(SOC)膀胱镜检查,作为其NMIBC随访的一部分或用于非恶性泌尿系统病理学检查。对NMIBC患者进行了尿液细胞学检查。在纳入的105例患者中,97例符合研究条件。20例患者表现为非恶性病变,29例有NMIBC疾病复发史,49例有NMIBC无复发史。在NMIBC中,Uromonitor-V2的敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值(PPV)和阴性预测值(NPV)分别为93.1%、85.4%、79.4%和95.3%。52例患者可进行尿液细胞学检查,其敏感性、特异性、PPV和NPV分别为26.3%、90.9%、62.5%和68.2%。Uromonitor-V2具有95.3%的高NPV,显示出在NMIBC患者随访方面具有良好前景。
