TEST KITS AND METHODS FOR THEIR USE TO DETECT GENETIC MARKERS FOR UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA OF THE BLADDER AND TREATMENT THEREOF

摘要

This invention relates to methods for detecting the presence of genetic markers for transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Specifically, this invention relates to detection of expression of overexpressed and underexpressed genetic markers and calculation of ratios of expression of these markers. In additional aspects, the invention relates to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based kits for carrying out these methods.
