Urine Test to Detect Bladder and Kidney Cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple urine test can accurately identify cancer in the bladder, ureters (tubes between kidneys and bladder), or renal pelvis (part of the kidney). You would provide urine samples before your planned surgery, and researchers will compare the urine test results to your actual tissue diagnosis after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have blood in your urine (visible or found on a test)
- Imaging scans (ultrasound, CT, or MRI) show a growth or abnormality in your bladder, ureter, or renal pelvis
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove tissue for diagnosis
- You can provide written consent to participate
- You can provide an adequate urine sample and will receive a final tissue diagnosis after surgery

This study is testing a simple blood test that looks for cancer DNA in your blood. The goal is to see if it can accurately detect muscle-invasive bladder cancer or upper tract urothelial cancer.
This study collects urine samples to test UroAmp, a new genetic test that may help detect and monitor bladder cancer. It is for people with bladder cancer or blood in urine who want to help improve cancer detection.
This study uses a blood test to find and monitor urothelial cancer (a type of bladder cancer) and to watch for signs it may come back. It may help patients and doctors make better decisions about follow-up care.
This study uses a urine test to detect small amounts of cancer DNA (microscopic residual disease) after treatment, to see if it can catch a recurrence earlier than standard scans or cystoscopy. It includes four groups of people with different types and stages of urothelial cancer (in the kidney, ureter, or bladder) to see how well the test works for each group.
This trial tests non-invasive tests (using urine samples and scheduled bladder procedures) to help detect bladder cancer. It may be helpful if you are having bladder evaluation or surgery and your care team wants better ways to detect cancer without invasive testing beyond what you already need.
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.
