A new study found that invisible blood and urine may be early warning signs of bladder cancer and may be helpful to clinicians. Scientists at the University of Exeter School of Medicine found that 1 in 60 people over the age of 60 had occult blood urine (measured by a doctor's urine test) and bladder cancer. This number refers to about half of people who have blood and urine, which is the gold indicator of bladder cancer. However, it is still higher than other data on the potential clinical manifestations of bladder cancer and requires further research.
The lead author, Dr. Sarah Price, a student at the University of Exeter School of Medicine, led the first influential study to investigate whether invisible blood and urine can predict the development of bladder cancer. The results of this study were published in the British Journal of General Medicine on September 1, 2014. She said: "As you know, if there is blood in your urine, please contact your doctor. We will conduct an examination, but if your routine examination shows that your urine is negative, please specify what you can do. We hope this The discovery will provide better guidance and further research is needed. Early diagnosis is essential for the successful treatment of bladder cancer. Three-quarters of patients diagnosed early will provide better results than those diagnosed later. What can we do to increase Opportunities to spot early and save lives?"
Anonymous data from more than 26,000 people helps to link clinical practice research data. This is a large research database used by the Exeter team in some cancer research institutions. Researchers found that people over the age of 60 with invisible blood and urine have a 1.6% risk of developing bladder cancer. In the UK, about 10,000 people are diagnosed with bladder cancer each year. The elderly and men are more common than women. The average age of diagnosis is 68 years old. Smoking is one of the main reasons.
