BLADDER TUMOR ANTIGEN TEST KITS

Bladder tumor antigen test kits are produced by medical equipment manufacturers to aid physicians in diagnosing bladder cancer and in monitoring patients for recurrence of the cancer.

Bladder tumor antigen test kits detect the presence of nuclear matrix protein (NMP22), which is elevated in cases of bladder tumors. According to statistics, bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer in adults in the U.S. This medical equipment is used in physician offices and clinics to detect elevated levels of NMP22 in a single sample of patient urine.
