SERUM CYFRA 21–1 IN PATIENTS WITH INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER AND ITS RELEVANCE AS A TUMOR MARKER DURING CHEMOTHERAPY

Abstract

Patients with transitional cell cancer of the bladder with evidence of distant metastases showed a significant increase in serum CYFRA 21-1. During chemotherapy CYFRA 21-1 appears to be a potentially sensitive and useful indicator for monitoring treatment response.
