Promising but preliminary

A comprehensive plasma-based approach to thromboinflammation in bladder cancer: integrating lipidomics, thrombin generation, and NETosis biomarkers.

BACKGROUND: Lipid metabolism reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer, yet its systemic manifestations and functional implications in bladder cancer (BC) remain poorly understood. CONCLUSIONS: Plasma lipidomic profiling identifies biomarkers with diagnostic and prognostic potential in BC and reveals associations with NETosis, active DNaseI dysfunction, and thrombin generation.
