abstract = {Background: To explore the clinical correlation between serum YKL-40 protein level and recurrence of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
Methods: Totally 76 NMIBC patients (including 34 patients with confirmed recurrence and 42 patients without recurrence during the 2-year post-operative follow-up) and 31 healthy volunteers were recruited in this study. Blood samples were collected early in the morning, and serum YKL-40 protein levels of all these patients were analysed by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results: Serum YKL-40 protein levels were significantly higher in NMIBC patients than in healthy controls (P},
