What backs it

The Galeas urine test, trialled by the NHS across seven hospitals in England and Scotland involving nearly 1,000 patients, identified 92% of bladder cancer cases, with a negative result indicating more than 99% certainty of no cancer.

Worth noting

The test is not a replacement for cystoscopies but could help prioritize which patients need them most urgently, reducing unnecessary invasive procedures.
