Urothelial cancers of the bladder and upper urinary tract account for over 200,000 deaths and 600,000 diagnoses annually worldwide. The most common presenting symptom is hematuria (blood in urine), triggering a cascade of tests, including an invasive examination of the bladder using a flexible scope (cystoscopy). Millions of cystoscopies are performed every year worldwide for patients presenting with hematuria, but only 10% result in a cancer diagnosis. The UROSCOUT-1 trial is a prospective multicenter observational study that explores the potential of urine tumor DNA (utDNA) testing to replace a significant portion of cystoscopies in the diagnostic setting for hematuria or other reasons to rule out urothelial cancer. The goal is to enhance patient quality of life, reduce healthcare costs, and address increased workloads in urology centers. Sample collection will be conducted by mail, and the samples will be analyzed in a blinded manner, without knowledge of which patients are diagnosed with cancer. Random subsampling will be applied to cancer-negative patients to achieve an approximate 1:1 ratio between cancer-positive and -negative patients.
