We analyzed the value of the Bard bladder tumor antigen (BTA*) test for the diagnosis of stage Ta superficial bladder cancer and carcinoma in situ, and compared it to the highly sensitive bladder washing cytology.
The BTA test is a latex agglutination test that qualitatively detects the presence of basement membrane complexes in the urine. A total of 60 patients with superficial bladder cancer underwent voided urine BTA analysis and bladder washing cytologies.
Of the patients 65% were correctly diagnosed with the BTA test compared to 32% with bladder washings, which is statistically significant (p < 0.001).
The BTA test is a noninvasive diagnostic tool that is superior to bladder washing cytology for diagnosing superficial bladder cancer.
我们分析了巴德膀胱肿瘤抗原(BTA*)检测对Ta期浅表性膀胱癌及原位癌诊断的价值,并将其与高敏感性的膀胱冲洗细胞学检查进行比较。
BTA检测是一种乳胶凝集试验,可定性检测尿液中基底膜复合物的存在。共有60例浅表性膀胱癌患者接受了晨尿BTA分析和膀胱冲洗细胞学检查。
BTA检测对患者的正确诊断率为65%,而膀胱冲洗细胞学检查为32%,差异具有统计学意义(p < 0.001)。
BTA检测是一种非侵入性诊断工具,在诊断浅表性膀胱癌方面优于膀胱冲洗细胞学检查。
