“…A 10-biomarker ELISA-based assay (IL8, MMP9, MMP10, SERPINA1, VEGFA, ANG, CA9, APOE, SDC1, and SERPINE1) provided an overall AUC of 0.85 (95% CI, 0.80-0.91) in discriminating urothelial bladder cancer patients from healthy and benign controls (45), slightly lower than the rates received from the CE-MS classifier for primary urothelial bladder cancer (AUC ¼ 0.87; 95% CI, 0.83-0.91). A three-gene methylation panel (OTX1, ONECUT2, and OSR1) detected low/intermediate risk urothelial bladder cancer with a sensitivity of 74% and specificity of 90% (43). In the current study, when investigating the subpopulation of low/intermediate-risk patients (NMIBC G 1 -G 2 ; n ¼ 26), the CE-MS-based classifier provided a sensitivity of 89% in urothelial bladder cancer detection at the preselected cut-off (AUC ¼ 0.72).…”
