Urinary Metabolic Markers of Bladder Cancer: A Reflection of the Tumor or the Response of the Body?

This work will review the metabolic information that various studies have obtained in recent years on bladder cancer, with particular attention to discovering biomarkers in urine for the diagnosis and prognosis of this disease. In principle, they would be capable of complementing cystoscopy, an inva...
