Biomarkers Could Predict Bladder Cancer Progression

This video examines a study that used liquid biopsies to monitor disease progression in patients with bladder cancer.

In this video, Emil Christensen, a researcher at Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark, discusses a study that used liquid biopsies to monitor disease progression in bladder cancer patients.

The study examined the feasibility and utility of tracking FGFR3 and PIK3CA hotspot mutations in patientsโ€™ urine and plasma. Two patient cohorts were studied: one included patients with nonโ€“muscle invasive disease, the other included those with muscle-invasive disease.

The results of the study were presented at the 2017 American Association for Cancer Researcher (AACR) Annual Meeting, held April 1โ€“5 in Washington, DC.
