Effect of pathogenic bacteria on reliability of CK-19, CK-20 and UPII as bladder cancer genetic markers: A molecular biology study

Conclusions E. coli is the most predominant bacteria isolated from bladder cancer patients. Both CK-20 and UPII have different expression levels for both benign and malignant cases. Combined use of UPII and CK-20 may be a promising noninvasive tool for the detection of bladder cancer in urine for patients who have both symptoms of UTI and cancer.
