Brief summary

This study is a case-control, propsective and muticentric clinical trial, which aim to compare the specificity and sensibility of VisioCyt urinary cytological test combined with FGFR3 mutation detection test to VisioCyt urinary cyological test on its own to detect bladder cancer. The case are patient in whom newly diagnosed, or recurring /progressing bladder cancer is strongly suspected after initial fibroscopy. The control are patient attending or hospitalized for urolithiasis, urinary infections, urinary superior excretory stones or with non suspect urinary symptomatology.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTUrine collection (150ml)

Urine collection will be tacken at inclusion. The sample will be thereafter separate into three to realise different analyzes (standard cytology, Visiocyt test, FGFR3 analysis)

OTHERBlood sample (20 ml)

Blood sample will be tacken at inclusion, ONLY for case patients that agreed upon this. This sample will be addition to the collection for further research.
