NOMOGRAMS INCLUDING NUCLEAR MATRIX PROTEIN 22 FOR PREDICTION OF DISEASE RECURRENCE AND PROGRESSION IN PATIENTS WITH Ta, T1 OR CIS TRANSITIONAL CELL CARCINOMA OF THE BLADDER

Abstract

We developed and internally validated nomograms that incorporate urinary NMP22, cytology, age and gender to predict with high accuracy the probability of disease recurrence and progression in patients with Ta, T1, and/or CIS bladder TCC. These nomograms could provide a means for individualizing followup in patients with Ta, T1, CIS bladder TCC.
