Analysis of the Fragmentation and Integrity of Urine Cell-Free DNA as a Diagnostic and Staging Biomarker for Bladder Cancer

Caption

Groundbreaking research in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics shows that analysis of specific patterns of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragmentation in a simple urine sample can effectively diagnose and stage bladder cancer. This approach offers a much-needed alternative to invasive procedures like cystoscopies, lowers healthcare costs, and improves patient comfort and outcomes
