Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to further validate the sensitivity and specificity of Bladder EpiCheck in primary detection of urothelial carcinoma in participants aged 45 years or older presenting with haematuria, compared to cystoscopy and pathology, if performed.

Participants will provide a voided urine sample, and data from standard of care haematuria work-up will be collected.

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The participant will provide a voided urine sample, which will be tested using the Bladder EpiCheck test. The clinical care team and the participant will not be informed of the result, and the standard of care will not change.
