Urine Test Shows 92% Accuracy in Detecting Bladder Cancer in Clinical Study
A new urine test called GALEAS Bladder has demonstrated a 92% detection rate for bladder cancer in a study involving nearly 1,000 patients across UK hospitals. The non-invasive test analyzes genetic mutations in urine to identify cancer presence, potentially reducing the need for invasive cystoscopy procedures. While not intended to replace cystoscopy, the test could help prioritize patients for urgent investigation and safely defer others, easing hospital workloads. Early detection is crucial, especially for men over 60, who are at higher risk.
