Our group previously demonstrated that fragmentomic features of plasma cell-free DNA enable direct inference of underlying DNA methylation signals. However, the relationship between DNA methylation and fragmentomic patterns in urine, as well as their potential clinical utility, remains unexplored.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We developed FRAGmentomics-based Methylation Analysis for ucfDNA (termed uFRAGMA) and evaluated its performance using 400 ucfDNA samples from patients with bladder, prostate, and kidney cancers, as well as non-cancer subjects. The ucfDNA fragmentation patterns around cancer-associated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites were used for cancer detection and differentiation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>uFRAGMA demonstrated robust diagnostic performance across urological malignancies, achieving an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.98 for bladder cancer detection and 0.93 for kidney cancer detection. In the context of prostate cancer screening, uFRAGMA could potentially reduce unnecessary prostate biopsies by 67.5% among patients with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels (&amp;gt;4\u2005ng\/mL), who would otherwise be at risk of overtreatment. Furthermore, we developed a tumor-of-origin classifier for urologic malignancies, attaining classification accuracies ranging from 71% to 92%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
