Dr. Daneshmand discussed the current bladder cancer detection and management landscape, including accuracy and other issues associated with existing tests such as cystoscopy and urine cytology. Dr. Daneshmand believes that genomic biomarkers have the potential to improve detection and management of urothelial cancer providing improved outcomes for both patients, healthcare providers and payers alike.
