If you obtain a negative result with the URO17 bladder cancer test, you can avoid undergoing an unnecessary and invasive cystoscopy.
How it works:
Talk to your doctor about ordering URO17 if using insurance, or order directly from us.
You will receive a URO17 urine collection kit with instructions.
Return the kit to us with the pre-paid envelope provided.
We will process your sample in our state-of-the-art laboratory.
We will share results with you within a week of receiving your sample.
What do my results mean?
If you receive negative results, you do not need any follow up testing.
If you receive positive results, you should undergo cystoscopy and further screening.
Who is at higher risk for bladder cancer?
Risk factors include: a history of smoking, age over 40, previous cancer treatment, and chronic cystitis. Certain professions that work with chemicals such as firefighters, machining & metal workers, painters, hairdressers, nail technicians, and some manufacturing jobs are also at increase risk.

How do I pay for this test?
URO17 is covered by most insurance when ordered by your physician. Private pay is available.
Current data suggests that URO17 is the most sensitive and specific test for bladder cancer.
The URO17 urine test can be used in the detection of new cancer, or in monitoring bladder cancer recurrence.
