LOINC long common name : Urothelial carcinoma gene expression score in Urine by Molecular genetics method;
LOINC short name : UC gene expression score Ur;
LOINC description : An overall gene expression score that indicates the probability of urothelial carcinoma
of the bladder (UCB) based on the presence of urine-based tumor markers in urine specimens
by molecular genetic methods. Testing is performed for the diagnosis and surveillance
of bladder cancer patients. Various non-invasive molecular assays exist for the detection
of urothelial carcinoma (UC). Results may include an overall genetic expression score
(this term), the probability of UC based on lab and clinical data [LOINC: 98854-3],
and a risk score for the recurrence of UC [LOINC: 98040-9]. The submitter's gene expression
score ranges from 0-1 where a score of 0.12 is a high probability of no UC, scores
between 0.12 and 0.23 indicate low probability of UC, and 0.23 indicates a high
probability of UC.[PMID:27986532][PMID:31028363];
