Urine test to sort bladder cancer risk after blood in urine
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special urine testing approach can better identify and sort risk in people (especially veterans) who were referred to urology for blood in the urine. It may help doctors decide who needs more urgent follow-up and which next steps to take.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are referred to a urologist for blood in the urine and either have a cystoscopy scheduled or had one within the last 2 months
- Your blood in the urine was either microscopic (seen on urine lab testing) or gross (visible to you)
- You can provide a fresh “voided” urine sample from your natural bladder (no bladder reconstruction or diversion)
- You are age 18 or older and can sign written consent
- You can follow the study steps, including collecting urine at home and mailing it to the lab with the provided courier

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new urine test that looks for DNA changes to find bladder or urinary tract cancer in people who have blood in their urine. The goal is to see if this simple test can detect cancer early.
This trial tests if we can safely skip a bladder camera test (cystoscopy) for people who have microscopic blood in their urine. If you meet certain criteria, you may not need the procedure.
This study looks at whether women over 50 with visible blood in their urine need extra tests after a bladder infection. It aims to find out if they need a camera test (cystoscopy) to check for cancer.
This trial tests screening for bladder cancer in people who have higher risk due to age, smoking, and certain job exposures. It may help find bladder cancer earlier when treatment can be more effective.
This trial looks at whether a large urine sample can detect bladder cancer DNA. It may help diagnose cancer without needing a cystoscopy. You can join if you are about to have a cystoscopy to check for bladder cancer.
This trial checks whether a new lab test on urine can help sort out which people with small amounts of blood in the urine (microscopic hematuria) might have bladder cancer. It may help doctors evaluate symptoms more accurately and decide who needs further testing.
