Urinary Biomarker Assay Detects Bladder Cancer

A new test for bladder cancer could enable general practitioners to test a urine sample and spare patients the discomfort of a cystoscopy in hospital which is the gold standard test for the detection of bladder cancer, but it is operator-dependent with a sensitivity of 90% to 97%. More...
