A NEW non-invasive urine test that uses the protein Keratin 17 (K17) as a biomarker to detect new or recurrent bladder cancer may be a breakthrough in determining the early causes of bladder cancer.

A simple urine test could spot bladder cancer ten years before symptoms appear by detecting genetic mutations. A major study found almost half of people who developed bladder cancer could be spotted a ...

Patients could soon be offered a groundbreaking urine test that can spot bladder cancer after it proved 100 per cent accurate in trials. The pioneering liquid biopsy could replace the dipstick test ...

The urine test checks for genetic mutations associated with the most common form of bladder cancer. Lead researcher Dr Florence Le Calvez-Kelm said: "Diagnosis of bladder cancer relies on expensive ...

iagnosis of bladder cancer relies on expensive and invasive procedures such as cystoscopy, which involves inserting a camera into the bladder. Having a simpler urine test that could accurately ...

Researchers have identified 10 genetic mutations that can predict the most common type of bladder cancer up to 12 years prior to diagnosis. The study results were presented at the European Association ...

A faster, cheaper and more reliable test to detect bladder cancer has been developed, US scientists have said. The test, which provides results within an hour, checks for a protein in urine which ...
