Bladder Cancer, Hematuria
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the methylation marker panel for the detection of bladder cancer in patients with gross or microscopic hematuria.
Detailed description
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the methylation marker panel for the detection of bladder cancer in patients with gross or microscopic hematuria. The secondary objective is to evaluate the predictive accuracy of a risk model including clinical factors such as age, gender, smoking history, and presence of gross versus microscopic hematuria compared to a model incorporating the same risk factors along with the methylation marker panel.
Interventions
