... suspicion of PCa was conducted. Among the participants, 176 had histologically confirmed PCa, while 63 served as controls with benign histology. Urine, glans swabs, and prostate biopsy specimens were collected from each participant and analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect a broad panel...

..., the relationship between HPV and urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) is still a controversial issue. This study aimed to test the urethral swabs and first-void urine samples of patients with UCB for HPV-Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and to compare the results...

The analysis was performed using polymerase chain reaction followed by filter hybridization with oligonucleotide-specific probes...

... area. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based restriction analysis was used to identify the C/T polymorphism of the urokinase gene. Genotyping distribution and allelic frequencies between patients and controls were compared. Results and Conclusion: There was a significant difference in the frequency...
