Gene-Based Urine Tests Used for Bladder Cancer Discovery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What if you could determine your need for bladder cancer treatment<\/a> from a routine urine sample<\/a>, just like many other medical conditions? Scientists have recently developed a test that could make this a reality.<\/p>\n

Using Gene-Based Testing for Early Cancer Detection<\/strong><\/p>\n

A team of researchers at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center has been studying cancer genes to find more effective methods of early detection. Earlier this year, they announced a new blood test called CancerSEEK<\/a>, which screens for eight different types of cancer, and PapSEEK, which screens for endometrial and ovarian cancers via cervical fluid samples.<\/p>\n

In a study published in March, the team revealed the addition of another test called UroSEEK. Urine samples are analyzed for the presence of gene mutations <\/a>or abnormal numbers of chromosomes, both of which are associated with bladder cancer and upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC).<\/p>\n

Identifying New Cancer Cases and Recurrences<\/strong><\/p>\n

During clinical studies involving 570 at-risk patients, UroSEEK had an 83 percent success rate identifying those who did develop bladder cancer<\/a>. When UroSEEK was used in conjunction with cytology, the standard test for bladder cancer, accuracy rose to 95 percent.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. David McConkey of the Johns Hopkins Greenburg Bladder Cancer Institute, bladder cancer has a high rate of recurrence. Another benefit of UroSEEK is that it can be used to effectively monitor patients who have already undergone treatment for bladder cancer.<\/p>\n
