Urine test may spare thousands from painful bladder scopes

Summary
This study looks at 1,000 adults who have microscopic blood in their urine (microhematuria), which can be a sign of bladder cancer. Currently, many need a cystoscopy—a camera inserted into the bladder—which can be uncomfortable. The study tests whether a urine test called Cxbladder Triage Plus can safely lower the number of cystoscopies by helping doctors decide who really needs one. Half the participants' doctors will see the test result; the other half will follow standard care. Researchers will compare how many cystoscopies are done in each group.
