Blood in urine in older women: is more testing needed?
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 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.
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 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 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.
This study looks at a simple urine test to see if it can help tell who might have bladder cancer when there is invisible blood in the urine. It is for people over 40 who have had this finding recently.
This trial is testing a urine test called Bladder EpiCheck to see if it can help find bladder cancer in people who have blood in their urine. You would give a urine sample and then have a standard cystoscopy as part of your care.
