Popis: The alterations of the inflammatory and thrombotic components in patients with cancer are not clearly understood. The purpose of this study was to profile markers of inflammation and thrombotic activation specifically in the patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy. For this study, 134 samples were collected from patients undergoing radical cystectomy. Antiphospholipid antibodies (immunoglobulin G subtype), microparticles, and antiglycosaminoglycan antibodies were measured with a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. These biomarkers were compared in patients with bladder cancer and normal individuals (n = 20). Patients had an average value of 6.7 ± 11.9 ng/mL (median: 2.8, confidence interval: 4.69-8.75, and P value: .0038) of antiphospholipid antibodies versus normal individuals 1.96 ± 0.9 ng/mL (median: 1.8 and confidence interval: 1.5-2.35). Microparticles level in patients was 8.31 ± 6.14 ng/mL, (median: 6.1, confidence interval: 7.26-9.37, and P value
