Xpert® Bladder Cancer Detection

Xpert® Bladder Cancer Detection

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Xpert® Bladder Cancer Detection is a non-invasive urine test designed to accurately detect bladder cancer in patients with hematuria. It is not available in all countries, including the United States.

The Need
Early and accurate diagnosis of bladder cancer is crucial, especially since most patients with hematuria do not have cancer. The test helps identify patients who require further investigation, addressing the challenge of distinguishing between cancerous and non-cancerous causes of hematuria.

The Solution
The Xpert Bladder Cancer Detection test uses five validated mRNA biomarkers to detect bladder cancer through a non-invasive urine sample. It offers high negative predictive value (NPV) and sensitivity, reducing the need for unnecessary procedures. The test is easy to implement in any urology lab and provides results in approximately 90 minutes.

Impact
This test reduces patient anxiety and discomfort by avoiding invasive procedures. It is easy to implement and does not require a PCR laboratory, making it accessible for various healthcare settings.

Performance
The test demonstrates high sensitivity (75.8%) and specificity (84.6%) compared to cystoscopy and histology. It has a high NPV of 97.8%, ensuring reliable exclusion of high-grade tumors.

Workflow
The test involves three simple steps: transferring urine into a reagent tube, mixing, and inserting the sample into the cartridge for testing.

Conclusion
Xpert® Bladder Cancer Detection provides a reliable, non-invasive method for diagnosing bladder cancer, improving patient care and reducing unnecessary medical procedures.
