Mayo Clinic researchers are investigating urine-based marker tests for bladder cancer detection. Urine-based marker tests are generally non-invasive and potentially reliable for detecting low-grade bladder cancer. The tests identify key urine indicators that suggest bladder cancer recurrence.
Mayo Clinic also maintains an extensive registry of patients who have undergone partial or radical cystectomies. Researchers use this registry to monitor cancer and surgery outcomes, search for possible trends and connections, and to ensure overall quality of care.
