Panel Discussion on Cxbladder Genomic Urine Test for Bladder Cancer – Summary:
Siamak Daneshmand, MD, Professor of Urology and Director of Clinical Research at the University of Southern California (USC), along with Anne Schuckman, MD, Assistant Professor of Clinical Urology at USC, and Sima P. Porten MD, MPH, Associate Professor at the University of California, San Francisco, participate in a panel discussion on the Cxbladder Genomic Urine Test for Bladder Cancer. Dr. Daneshmand reviews a research study that audited the clinical utility of the Cxbladder monitor assay and found that it accurately ruled out patients who did not have recurrent UC, enabling low risk patients to undergo cystoscopy at a longer-than-recommended interval, thereby reducing the cystoscopy burden by 39%. He then interviews Drs. Porten and Schuckman about their experience with Cxbladder, leading the two to discuss ideal patient populations for Cxbladder, in-home sampling procedures, and situations wherein Cxbladder is most effective.
