Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the use of molecular testing, specifically the Xpert® Bladder Cancer Detection and Monitor tests, to aid in the treatment plans for patients with bladder cancer. These tests are in vitro diagnostic medical devices designed to detect and monitor bladder cancer non-invasively using urine samples.

Bladder Cancer Facts
By 2030, the incidence of bladder cancer is expected to rise significantly. In Europe, 124,000 new cases are diagnosed annually, with over 40,000 deaths. The risk increases with age, and the median diagnosis age is around 70 years. Most newly diagnosed cases are non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), which has a high recurrence rate.

Haematuria and Bladder Cancer
Blood in urine (haematuria) is a common symptom of bladder cancer, but most cases of haematuria are not cancer-related. Common causes include infections, stones, and benign conditions. The Xpert® tests can help differentiate between cancer and other conditions, reducing patient anxiety and aiding in follow-up strategies.

Xpert® Bladder Cancer Tests
The Xpert® Bladder Cancer Detection test helps assess the likelihood of cancer in patients with haematuria, while the Monitor test checks for recurrence in previously diagnosed patients. Both tests measure five mRNA tumor markers in urine, providing a positive or negative result.

Test Performance
The Detection test has a sensitivity of 75.8% and a specificity of 84.6% among patients with haematuria. The Monitor test shows a sensitivity of 75.0% and a specificity of 80.6% for patients with a history of bladder cancer. The negative predictive value (NPV) is high for both tests, ensuring reliable negative results.

Procedure
To perform the test, a urine sample is collected and processed using the Xpert® Urine Transport Reagent kit. The sample is then analyzed to provide results that guide treatment decisions.

Conclusion
The Xpert® tests offer a non-invasive, reliable method for detecting and monitoring bladder cancer, supporting better patient management and treatment planning.

Bladder Cancer Facts By 2030, the annual incidence of bladder cancer is projected to increase to (nearly double that of 2012)1. In Europe2 Every Year • 124,000 people are newly diagnosed with bladder cancer • ~415,000 people live with bladder cancer • More than 40,000 people die from the disease The Incidence of Bladder Cancer is Increasing Because • The risk of getting bladder cancer increases with age, and more Europeans are living longer • The median age of diagnosis is ~70 years 75% of newly diagnosed patients have non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC)3. Their 5 year survival chances...

Haematuria — Blood in the Urine Blood in the urine is the most common symptom of bladder cancer. • 4 out of 5 people with bladder cancer have some blood in their urine, however5: • 80-90% patients with gross haematuria do NOT have cancer • And over 95% of patients with microhaematuria do NOT have cancer Instead, the most common causes of haematuria are urinary tract infection, nephrolithiasis (stones), polycystic kidney disease, trauma, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in older men, or, in some cases, even vigorous exercise. Sometimes, it can be difficult for doctors to decide who may have...

Non-Invasive Tests for Two Clinical Applications Detection Xpert® Bladder Cancer Detection The non-invasive, urine based Xpert ® Bladder Cancer Detection test could help you assess whether your patient presenting with haematuria is likely to have cancer or not. The test detects the presence of bladder cancer in patients with haematuria suspected of having bladder cancer. Xpert® Bladder Cancer Monitor The non-invasive, urine based Xpert ® Bladder Cancer Monitor test could help you decide if your bladder cancer patient has recurring cancer or remains cancer-free. It detects the recurrence of bladder...

Xpert ® Bladder Cancer Detection Xpert ® Bladder Cancer Monitor Bladder cancer confirmed by urologist and pathologist Patient with haematuria Appointment with urologist 3 Investigations & tests; e.g. ultrasound, cystoscopy 4 Positive Result – treatment e.g TURB &/or BCG/ similar 5 Monitor for recurrence, according to local guidelines How Do They Work? Both are ‘non-invasive’ tests that measure the expression of five mRNA tumour markers in a voided urine sample. The five mRNA tumour markers were: • Selected for their presence and ability to distinguish bladder cancer cells from normal cells. •...

Sensitivity, Specificity & NPV Understanding the concepts of sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value helps to understand the value of these tests and of other diagnostic methods like cystoscopy and cytology. Sensitivity — the percentage of people with bladder cancer who are correctly identified as having the condition (or the proportion of true positives that are correctly identified). Specificity — the percentage of healthy people who are correctly identified as not having bladder cancer (or the proportion of true negatives that are correctly identified). Sensitivity/Specificity...

An increase in test sensitivity usually causes a decrease in test specificity. That means some patients might get positive test results but a cancer cannot be found by cystoscopy. Thus, there is a discrepancy between test results. In some patients, these discrepant results are caused by false positive results of the test. In other patients, these discrepant results might be caused by false negative results by cystoscopy. Negative Predictive Value (NPV) — is an estimate of the probability that subjects with a negative screening test truly do not have the disease. A high negative predictive value...

What Do I Need to Do Next? The test is very simple for you and your patient. All the patient needs to do is provide a urine sample. Obtain a urine sample of at least 4.5mL in the primary collection cup. Use the disposable transfer pipette provided in the Xpert Urine Transport Reagent kit in the pouch with the tube. Invert cup 3 times to mix the urine. Obtain one Xpert® Urine Transport Reagent kit. Insert the transfer pipette into the bottom of the urine cup. Transfer approximately 4.0mL of urine so that the volume reaches the black line on the tube label. NOTE: Do not use the pipette from the...
