New Test May Detect Bladder Cancer Faster
A urine test that detects proteins given off by malignant growths can identify bladder cancer faster and perhaps reduce the use of more invasive procedures, researchers said. The $30 test that can be completed in an office setting in less than an hour "advances our ability to diagnose bladder cancers more easily and less expensively," said Edward Messing, a physician at the University of Rochester Medical Center, who was involved in the research. The test, called the NMP22 BladderChek, was developed by Matritech, which funded the study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
