Abstract

Bladder cancer is the most common malignancy of the urinary system,and its treatment relies on accurate detection and long-term monitoring,which are crucial for improving patient’s prognosis. Currently,cystoscopy is the primary method for diagnosing and monitoring bladder cancer,but its invasive nature poses significant discomfort to patients. Liquid biopsy,which non-invasively detects biomarkers such as DNA,RNA,and proteins in body fluids for information no disease status,has gained increasing attention in recent years for its potential in invasive tumor detection. Liquid biopsy holds promise as a novel approach to diagnosing and monitoring bladder cancer.

Key words
