Combined Tests Could Reduce Unnecessary Bladder Removal
Combining a visual inspection of the bladder with a blood test to check for the presence of circulating tumor DNA can accurately predict which bladder cancer patients still have cancer in their bladder after treatment — and which do not. The findings presented today by Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers could someday help urologists identify which bladder cancer patients can safely avoid undergoing bladder removal, a risky and life-altering surgery.
