Summary

This study is testing whether a urine test can accurately detect urothelial carcinoma, a type of cancer that includes bladder cancer. Researchers are comparing the test results to standard tissue biopsies in 800 adults with blood in their urine and suspicious imaging findings. If the urine test proves reliable, it could offer a noninvasive, cheaper way to screen for these cancers.

Active substance

urine DNA methylation test

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a simple, noninvasive way to detect bladder and related cancers early, reducing the need for invasive biopsies.

What could go wrong

This is an early observational study at a single center, so results may not apply to all patients. The test may not be accurate enough to replace standard diagnostic methods.
