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 ...

Early detection of bladder cancer can improve clinical outcomes and survival rates, similar to other cancers. One current area of research involves looking at cell mutations in areas where cancer may ...

A noninvasive urinary DNA methylation test demonstrated high sensitivity for detecting high-grade or invasive bladder cancer. A urinary DNA methylation test displayed superior sensitivity for ...

Women with ongoing urinary incontinence could avoid invasive bladder pressure tests, as new research shows that a range of non-invasive assessments work just as well in guiding treatment. Led by ...

Testing for genetic mutations in urine can detect bladder cancer years before the disease shows clinical symptoms, new research has shown. The study, by researchers from France, Iran and the United ...

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 ...

Urologists also treat conditions that affect male reproductive organs. The reproductive and urinary systems work closely together in men. Urologists often treat conditions that affect both systems.

The Decipher Bladder test identifies aggressive bladder cancer, aiding in treatment decisions beyond initial clinical staging. Non-luminal tumors in NMIBC show higher upstaging rates to MIBC and ...

Women with ongoing urinary incontinence could avoid invasive bladder pressure tests, as new research shows that a range of non-invasive assessments work just as well in guiding treatment. Led by ...

A new urine test could spare bladder cancer survivors from a painful follow-up procedure needed to ensure their cancer hasn't come back, researchers report. People who've gotten surgery for high-risk ...
