Abstract
A method for selectively inducing expression of biomarkers for urologic cancers, including prostate and bladder cancer, is disclosed. Tumor cells are cultured using a low shear rotational three-dimensional technique under conditions effective to induce said selective expression. The method is useful for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
