Simple urine test could replace painful scope for bladder cancer detection
NCT ID NCT03193528
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new urine test that looks for specific markers of bladder cancer. The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive test can accurately detect bladder cancer in 450 people who have blood in their urine, potentially reducing the need for a more invasive camera test called cystoscopy.
