Abstract:

Bladder cancer is a kind of malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality. Usually, it only can be diagnosed at the middle or late stage, causing serious physical and mental harm to patients. Cystoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of bladder cancer. However, cystoscopy is invasive to some extent. The limited sensitivity and specificity of cystoscopy are also main barriers for achieving the required early and precise diagnosis of bladder cancer. The occurrence of bladder cancer would have a significant impact on the components of blood and urine. In this regard, non-invasive liquid biopsy shows great potential for realizing early bladder cancer diagnosis. This review describes the development of liquid biopsy-based diagnostic methods for bladder cancer. The main biomarkers of bladder cancer are briefly introduced. The diagnostic methods and mechanisms of bladder cancer with liquid(such as urine and blood) as the detection objects are comprehensively discussed. In addition, the opportunities and challenges of liquid biopsy for bladder cancer diagnosis are recommended. We hope this review will provide guidance for bladder cancer-based liquid biopsy techniques.
