The most invasive part of the new test is remembering to cap the cup.
New Urine Test Spots Bladder Cancer in 71 of 77 Patients, No Cystoscopy Needed
A UK observational study of GALEAS Bladder, a genetic urine test from Nonacus Clinical Services, correctly flagged bladder cancer-associated genes in 71 of 77 patients who later developed a malignancy, including all 17 muscle-invasive cases, with a negative predictive value above 99%. It produced 61 false positives and 6 false negatives, four at a very early stage. The authors say the test could triage patients away from cystoscopy, which is expensive, invasive, and slow, cutting waiting times for the roughly 550,000 people diagnosed worldwide each year.
