  • Research summary

    This is a prospective observational study looking at urine samples from participants under referral for a standard of care investigative cystoscopy and biopsy.

    The study aims to test if the UroX™ biomarker (a measurable indicator of a biological condition) can be detected in urine samples from participants who may later test positive following a biopsy for bladder cancer. The study aims to assess the value of the biomarker as a screening tool for bladder cancer.

    Patients with and those without bladder cancer are required for this study.
