Multi-Component Liquid Biopsy for Urothelial Carcinoma
This intervention is a non-invasive, multi-component liquid biopsy assay specifically designed for patients with urothelial carcinoma (including bladder cancer and upper tract urothelial carcinoma). It integrates multiple tumor-derived analytes from paired blood and urine samples: circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA)/circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from peripheral blood plasma, urinary tumor DNA (utDNA)/cell-free DNA from urine, exosomal RNAs (e.g., miRNAs, lncRNAs) and proteins from urine-derived exosomes, and selected tumor-associated proteins. Serial sampling is performed at key clinical time points to enable longitudinal assessment: 1. Pre-diagnosis or baseline 2. During treatment 3. Post-treatment surveillance
