We investigated the ability of urine dipsticks to detect early bladder cancer in a group of men in the community. In 2,35.6 men more than 60 years old the urine was tested with a dipstick for the presence of blood. The subjects then tested their own urine on 10 subsequent occasions. Of the men 474 (20%) had dipstick hematuria and 319 agreed to undergo urological investigation. An asymptomatic bladder tumor was found in 17 men, associated in 10 with abnormal urine cytological findings. Urine dipsticks for the detection of red cells provided an inexpensive, simple and acceptable screening test for bladder cancer. However, introduction of generalized population screening by this method would produce large numbers requiring investigation. Combining urine cytology with dipstick hematuria results may provide a realistic alternative and further evaluation of the effectiveness of screening for bladder cancer in the community is required. © 1992 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byBandari J, Nielsen M, Jacobs B and Smith K (2017) Cost-Effectiveness of Single Versus Confirmatory Urinalysis in the Evaluation of Asymptomatic MicrohematuriaUrology Practice, VOL. 5, NO. 6, (427-432), Online publication date: 1-Nov-2018.Davis R, Jones J, Barocas D, Castle E, Lang E, Leveillee R, Messing E, Miller S, Peterson A, Turk T and Weitzel W (2012) Diagnosis, Evaluation and Follow-Up of Asymptomatic Microhematuria (AMH) in Adults: AUA GuidelineJournal of Urology, VOL. 188, NO. 6S, (2473-2481), Online publication date: 1-Dec-2012.Lotan Y, Elias K, Svatek R, Bagrodia A, Nuss G, Moran B and Sagalowsky A (2018) Bladder Cancer Screening in a High Risk Asymptomatic Population Using a Point of Care Urine Based Protein Tumor MarkerJournal of Urology, VOL. 182, NO. 1, (52-58), Online publication date: 1-Jul-2009.LOKESHWAR V and SOLOWAY M (2018) CURRENT BLADDER TUMOR TESTS: DOES THEIR PROJECTED UTILITY FULFILL CLINICAL NECESSITY?Journal of Urology, VOL. 165, NO. 4, (1067-1077), Online publication date: 1-Apr-2001.
