Urine RNA Test Could Detect Bladder Cancer and Predict Treatment Response

Experimental Stanford Urine RNA Test Detected 95% of Localized Bladder Cancers, but Cystoscopy Remains the Standard for Now

An experimental Stanford urine RNA test caught 95% of localized bladder cancers in a 683-sample study, but it still needs larger trials, validation, and comparison with existing tests.

Urine RNA Test Could Detect Bladder Cancer and Predict Treatment Response

A urine cell-free RNA test detected localized bladder cancer with high sensitivity and may also reveal residual disease and help predict response to BCG immunotherapy versus chemotherapy.

Scientists develop simple test that detects 95% of a common cancer in study

A simple urine test could diagnose people with bladder cancer more accurately than current standard methods, researchers have found.

Simple Urine Test Reads Tumor RNA to Detect Bladder Cancer and Predict

A simple urine test developed by researchers at Stanford Medicine and the VA Palo Alto Health Care System can diagnose bladder cancer more accurately than the current standard methods, and, remarkably, can also tell physicians how a patient’s tumor is likely to respond to treatment before a single drug is administered. The test, described in […]
