Description
Summary:Abstract Background Bladder cancer (BC) is a burdensome disease with significant morbidity, mortality, and cost. The development of novel plasma-based biomarkers for BC diagnosis and surveillance could significantly improve clinical outcomes and decrease health expenditures. Plasma miRNAs are promising biomarkers that have yet to be rigorously investigated in BC. Objective To determine the feasibility and efficacy of detecting BC with plasma miRNA signatures. Materials and methods Plasma miRNA was isolated from 20 patients with bladder cancer and 18 noncancerous controls. Samples were analyzed with a miRNA array containing duplicate probes for each miRNA in the Sanger database. Logistic regression modeling was used to optimize diagnostic miRNA signatures to distinguish between muscle invasive BC (MIBC), non-muscle-invasive BC (NMIBC) and noncancerous controls. Results Seventy-nine differentially expressed plasma miRNAs (local false discovery rate [FDR]
