Abstract

In this study, the value of urinary fibrinogen degradation products as a biological marker of bladder carcinoma has been studied. An increase in fibrinogen degradation products was found in 86% of bladder cancer patients independent of the fact that they had active tumors or that they were disease free. A highly significant correlation between the amount of the increase, the grade, local invasiveness, and the risk of recurrence of the tumor has been established. One can conclude that urinary fibrinogen degradation products are of great prognostic value in patients with bladder carcinoma.
