Urine test could speed up bladder cancer diagnosis in remote communities

This study tested whether a simple urine test could help doctors decide which patients in Greenland need a more invasive bladder exam (cystoscopy) to check for cancer. The goal was to create a faster, more efficient screening process, especially for areas with limited access to specialist care. By using the urine test as a first step, researchers hoped to identify patients who need further examination sooner, potentially leading to earlier cancer detection and better outcomes.
