Urinary Telomerase Activity, C-erbB2, Malondialdehyde and Nitric Oxide as Possible Biological Markers of Bladder Cancer
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the possible diagnostic role of telomerase activity, c-erbB2, malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels in the urine of bladder cancer patients. Eighty urine samples were taken from 3 groups of individuals; 1) Ten healthy age matched control subjects, 2) Twe...
