Bladder Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
To improve upon the non-invasive detection of BCa by further validating a multiplex ELISA assay directed at a BCa-associated diagnostic signature in voided urine samples of patients with microscopic hematuria.
Detailed description
Hematuria is the most common presentation of BCa with 8% of patients with microscopic hematuria harboring BCa. VUC is the most widely used urine-based assay for detecting BCa; however, it fails to detect approximately 50% of low-grade or early stage BCa when it is most curable. Because of this severe limitation, patients with hematuria will undergo an invasive examination of the urinary bladder, where a miniature camera is inserted into the bladder. We propose to improve the non-invasive detection of BCa by further validating a multiplex ELISA assay directed at a BCa-associated diagnostic signature in voided urine samples of patients with microscopic hematuria.
