A simple urine test can more than halve the number of cystoscopies necessary to follow up high-risk bladder cancer patients, new research has found. Cystoscopies involve inserting a flexible probe ...

In a trial, Xpert® Bladder Cancer Monitor, a non-invasive urinary biomarker test, appeared suitable for guiding cystoscopy during monitoring of patients with NMIBC. Alternating between cystoscopy and ...

A urine test was shown to decrease the need for invasive cystoscopies in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. A urine-based test may decrease the number of invasive cystoscopies in ...

A promising molecular diagnostic tool for detecting primary bladder cancer in patients who notice blood in their urine may speed up diagnosis and reduce the need for potentially unnecessary ...

A streamlined urine DNA test more accurately detects primary bladder cancer, reducing the need for more invasive cystoscopy, reports The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics Lead investigator Sungwhan An, ...

A cystoscopy is a procedure that involves inserting a tool into the urethra and up into the bladder to examine these organs. The tool is a cystoscope — a thin, flexible instrument with a light and a ...

Effects of perioperative chemotherapy on prognosis in muscle invasive bladder cancer treated with radical cystectomy. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2024 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers ...

Researchers led by the University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Korea, have checked the performance of a noninvasive urinary DNA methylation test for bladder cancer diagnosis. Injected micronized ...

A new urine test could spare bladder cancer survivors from a painful follow-up procedure needed to ensure their cancer hasn't come back, researchers report. People who've gotten surgery for high-risk ...
