Jussi Nikkola: How to determine Urothelial Cancer with High-volume Urine DNA Analysis

Jussi Nikkola, Clinical Researcher at Tampere University, shared a post on X:

Excited to share our urine tumor DNA assay UroScout results published today in European Urology.

 Sensitive Detection of Urothelial Cancer via High-volume Urine DNA Analysis  

– 497 urine DNA samples from 281 patients
-100% sens for ≥T1 bladder cancer
– 94% sens for Ta bladder cancer
– 92% sens for any grade UTUC
– 100% sens for MI/HG-UTUC
– 90% sens for recurrence detection
– Identification of Lynch syndrome
Three-tier diagnostic workflow for cystoscopy
– pre-screening
 Potential to replace ~80% of diagnostic cystoscopies
– 2 utDNA mutations, AF≥5%  

– PPV 100%
– 69% of UC patients could be scheduled directly for OR procedures.
