Urinary biomarkers are substances that can be measured in the urine to help diagnose, monitor, or predict the course of urological cancers, such as bladder cancer. Urinary biomarkers can be useful for detecting cancer early, assessing the risk of recurrence or progression, and evaluating the response to treatment. Urinary biomarkers can also reduce the need for invasive procedures, such as cystoscopy or biopsy, which can cause discomfort and complications for patients [1].
