Detection and Risk Stratification in Veterans Presenting With Microscopic Hematuria
Sponsor: Pacific Edge Limited
Summary
It is currently debated whether the use of invasive standard of care procedures, such as cystoscopy, a procedure which involves inserting a thin camera, called a cystoscope, into the bladder to look for signs of disease, is appropriate for patients with microscopic hematuria (blood in the urine that cannot be seen with the naked eye). This is because the risk of disease (bladder cancer - urothelial carcinoma) is relatively low in this population group, approximately 3%. Invasive procedures such as cystoscopy can cause anxiety and pain, in addition to other potential side effects. This has resulted in low admittance for cystoscopy among patients with hematuria (blood in urine) in urology clinics. Therefore, there is a need for a simpler, non-invasive test that can accurately detect the presence or absence of disease (urothelial carcinoma) in patients with microscopic hematuria. Cxbladder, a non-invasive, urine-based test, has the potential to fill this role.
