Urine test for Bladder cancer

Overall winner of The Cancer Innovation Awards 2008 at the Medical futures Innovation Awards - Device to Diagnose Bladder Cancer
Dr Nick-Miller Jone & Lawrence Fenlon, UroSens Ltd, Cambridge
This is a point of care test for diagnosing bladder cancer. It detects the presence of a special protein, a marker for bladder cancer in a urine sample. The main current method for diagnosing bladder cancer is cystoscopy, which involved passing an endoscope up the urethra and into the bladder under anaesthetic. The new test will be much cheaper, is non-invasive, and hopes to save many patients the need for a cystoscopy. Bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer with a high level recurrence. The team hope that the test could be used to monitor patients, check for recurrence, and in the long run, possibly become a screening tool.
