UriFind^®️

DNA methylation product for Non-invasive Urothelial Carcinoma (UC) Early Detection Test.

Disease Background

Urothelial carcinoma(UC) iscancer that begins in the urothelial cells, which line the urethra, bladder, ureters, renal pelvis, and some other organs. Almost all bladder cancers are urothelial carcinomas. In addition, UC also includes upper tract urothelia

High incidence:Bladder cancer is the most prevalent tumor of the urinary system. The number of new cases is more than 80,000 and the number of deaths is more than 30,000.
High mortality: MRI index of Men’s bladder cancer is 0.40 (mortality/incidence) ,which higher than other tumor.
High recurrence rate: The 5-year recurrence rate of non-muscular invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is as high as 60-78%; the recurrence rate of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is 22%-47%^[1].
High treatment cost: The cost of treating bladder cancer by medical insurance ranks top 4 cancers^[2].

The traditional technology has many limitations in the diagnosis of bladder cancer

Ultrasound imaging: Sensitivity 63-98%, dependence on physician experience, and inability to diagnose carcinoma in situ.
Urinary tumor marker: Low specificity, and susceptibility to hematuria interference.
Urine cytology: Sensitivity 13-75%, difficulty in detecting LG-UC, and inability to exclude diagnosis based on a negative result.
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH): Low throughput, complex operation, and dependence on pathologist experience.
Cystoscopy + tissue biopsy: Liability to overlooking carcinoma in situ, invasive examination, and poor compliance of the patients of postoperative review.
