A MicroRNA expression profile defining the invasive bladder tumor phenotype

The diagnostic test, based on the three most discriminatory miRNAs in our panel (miR-200c, miR-141, and miR-30b), showed a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 96.2%. Such a panel of miRNAs has the potential to identify invasive bladder tumors misclassified in pathologic assessment of bladder biopsy specimens.
