Abstract
In the last two decades specific point mutations in oncogenes have been identified in urinary bladder cancers. Identification of these mutations in clinical samples (e.g., urine or tumor tissue) can be of use for diagnostic or prognostic purposes. In this chapter we describe how mutations in multiple oncogenes can be identified with a simple assay.
