Abstract：
OBJECTIVES:The present study was conducted to determine the efficacy of NMP-22 as a diagnostic test for recurrence of bladder tumors and to compare its efficacy with urine cytology. METHODS:30 patients (25 male, 5 female), aged 41-87 years (mean 73.4), with bladder tumor were evaluated by cytology, cystoscopy and determination of NMP-22 at 3 and 6 months post-TUR of the bladder. A positive test was defined as NMP-22 greater than 10 U/ml. RESULTS:80.7% were T1, 15.3% T2-T3, 76.8% were grade I and II, and 23.2% were grade III. NMP-22 showed a sensitivity of 69%, a specificity of 64%, a positive predictive value of 52% and a negative predictive value of 78%, using tumor recurrence at 3 and 6 months as the unit of analysis, for a recurrence rate of 36%. Cytology showed a sensitivity of 44%, a specificity of 92%, a positive predictive value of 77% and a negative predictive value of 74%. When both tests were used, we obtained a sensitivity of 87.5%, a specificity of 64.2%, a positive predictive value of 58.3% and a negative predictive value of 90%. In grade I tumors, determination of NMP-22 had a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 77.7%, a positive predictive value of 60% and a negative predictive value of 69%. CONCLUSIONS:NMP-22 showed an acceptable sensitivity but a low positive predictive value, therefore control cystoscopic evaluation cannot be avoided. The sensitivity and negative predictive values increased when NMP-22 and cytology are used in combination. We found NMP-22 to be a very useful marker for recurrence of low grade tumors.
