Bladder cancer is a common type of malignancy. UBC®Rapid is a novel immunoassay detecting urine cytokeratin 8/18 protein. Studies have shown good accuracy of UBC®Rapid in detecting bladder cancer. UBC®Rapid has however to date not been evaluated in Asian patients. We evaluated UBC®Rapid in detecting Asian bladder cancer, together with urine cytology.
