| 摘要 |
Hepatoma up-regulated protein (HURP) gene serves as a useful molecular marker in the detection, preliminary screening and monitoring of bladder cancer in a human subject. A method for the detection of bladder cancer, in particular transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder, in a human subject is disclosed, in which the detected expression of the human HURP gene in a sample taken from a subject suspected to have bladder cancer is indicative of the presence of the bladder cancer. The present invention further provides a non-invasive method for the detection, preliminary screening or monitoring of urinary TCC in a suspected subject, in which a urine sample taken from the subject is analyzed to determine an expression of the human HURP gene, the presence of which is indicative of the presence of urinary TCC.
