Summary
This study tested a urine test that measures a protein called DEK to help diagnose bladder cancer. It included over 1,100 people with blood in their urine or painful urination. The goal was to see if the test could accurately detect cancer without invasive procedures. However, the trial was stopped early, so the final results are not available.
