Summary
This study is looking at whether analyzing DNA and proteins in urine can help detect cancers of the bladder and kidney without invasive procedures. Researchers will collect urine samples from 500 adults, including those with known or suspected cancer and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if this simple test can find cancer cells and predict how the disease might behave.
