A simple urine test can more than halve the number of cystoscopies necessary to follow up high-risk bladder cancer patients, new research has found. Cystoscopies involve inserting a flexible probe ...

In a trial, Xpert® Bladder Cancer Monitor, a non-invasive urinary biomarker test, appeared suitable for guiding cystoscopy during monitoring of patients with NMIBC. Alternating between cystoscopy and ...

A urine test was shown to decrease the need for invasive cystoscopies in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. A urine-based test may decrease the number of invasive cystoscopies in ...

A promising molecular diagnostic tool for detecting primary bladder cancer in patients who notice blood in their urine may speed up diagnosis and reduce the need for potentially unnecessary ...

A streamlined urine DNA test more accurately detects primary bladder cancer, reducing the need for more invasive cystoscopy, reports The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics Lead investigator Sungwhan An, ...

Doctors use a combination of tests, including urinalysis, cystoscopy, urine culture, and bladder wall biopsy to diagnose interstitial cystitis. For males, they may also examine prostate secretions.

A cystoscopy is a procedure that involves inserting a tool into the urethra and up into the bladder to examine these organs. The tool is a cystoscope — a thin, flexible instrument with a light and a ...

Researchers led by the University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Korea, have checked the performance of a noninvasive urinary DNA methylation test for bladder cancer diagnosis. Injected micronized ...
