Which option would you take if you suddenly started peeing blood.
A. Take a cxBladder test?
B. Go for a camera up your whizzer plus imaging?
You are the patient and you have the choice available
Sadly simple personal choice won't be the making of Cxbladder Miner. Getting this across the line has been a little more complicated than that as you well know. BTW, Triage only looked great with imaging along side right?

In the context of Triage application there is a condition/symptom that requires investigation.
A cx bladder test can provide information on whether there is an indication of cancer or not.
If the result is positive or requiring investigation the imaging provides the information as to location and where to start looking.
However, in the Monitor situation the patient has had a bladder cancer operation already and is on the way to recovery.
After a couple of rounds of investigative cystoscopies and imaging with all clear results would it not seem appropriate to turn to a non invasive test such as cxBladder?
Why continue to bombard the poor sod with no symptoms with regular 3monthly painful and invasive cystoscopies plus a dose of radiation which could possibly lead to either new (gasp) bladder cancer or cancer in other locations.
Dissonance or reluctance to participate may start wandering in as well resulting in less than satisfactory outcomes.
Looks to me like this overkill may be in future times be considered as reckless endangerment when a viable alternative is available in the Monitor situation.
Would be very interested to know if the rate of recurrence of bladder cancer ( around 70%) is made worse by the use of imaging which is what the article was about.

Hard to believe that PEB is almost a billion dollar company today eh
Thank you. I was briefly a shareholder in 2013 but sold quickly after a 15% drop. However, now this looks like a complete different beast. I have no experience in this sector at all but someone told me (and I hope this still rings trues) about US healthcare providers "Once you're in you're in".
