| Experiment | negative histology followed by a positive biopsy less than 24 months later |
| Type of Biomarker | Diagnostic |
| Cohort | 450 patients were analysed. Negative histology followed by a negative biopsy less than 24 months later (n=164); negative histology followed by a positive biopsy less than 24 months later (n= 170) and first positive biopsy (n=116). A total of 264 patients were then selected for the study. |
