Xpert Bladder Cancer Detection in Emergency Setting Assessment (XESA Project): A Prospective, Single-centre Trial
Xpert Bladder Cancer Detection is a simple urine test that detects the presence of five genes associated with bladder cancer. We found that for patients visiting the emergency department because of blood in their urine, use of this test could save time and money over urine cell analysis (UCA) for ruling out or diagnosing bladder cancer. The test was also more sensitive in detecting higher-grade cancers. More research is needed to confirm our results.
