An Accurate & Non-Invasive Urine Test for Bladder Cancer
Globally bladder cancer is the 6th most common cancer among men, and 10th overall. The five-year survival rate for individuals with the disease is 77% when compared to the population, however this jumps up to 96% if the tumour has not spread beyond the lining of the bladder wall.1
The prevalence of the disease alongside the importance of early detection mean it’s essential you speak to your doctor and get tested as soon as possible if you’re experiencing blood in urine or are concerned about any other symptom.
Cxbladder is a family of non-invasive, genomic urine tests that quickly and accurately detect or rule out bladder cancer. The test works at a molecular level, measuring five biomarker genes to detect the presence or absence of bladder cancer.
You should consider a Cxbladder test when:
- You’ve seen blood in your urine
- Tests reveal you have blood in your urine
- You’re being monitored for recurrent bladder cancer
A Family of Tests Optimised to Meet the Needs of Our Patients
Cxbladder is a family of tests, each optimised for a different point in the patient journey. Your Doctor can recommend the Cxbladder test that’s right for you.
Cxbladder Triage
If you have blood in your urine, you or your doctor may wish to quickly rule out bladder cancer. Cxbladder Triage analyses the gene expression of urine-based biomarkers alongside information on known bladder cancer risk factors like age, gender and smoking history to rule out patients with a low risk of having the disease.
Cxbladder Triage provides accurate results and reassurance that can reduce the need for further invasive procedures like a cystoscopy. Your doctor may also recommend Cxbladder Triage before other urine-based tests.
Cxbladder Detect
If your doctor suspects you have bladder cancer, they may use Cxbladder Detect in combination with other tests and procedures to inform your diagnosis. Cxbladder Detect can be used as an adjunct to cystoscopy or as a substitute for other urine-based tests or imaging procedures.
By detecting and quantifying signs of cancer at the molecular level, Cxbladder Detect outperforms other urine-based tests, making it an ideal choice for bladder cancer testing if you have significant symptoms.
Cxbladder Monitor
Those that have been already been treated for bladder cancer have unique testing needs. It's important to monitor your condition for years after treatment to ensure you remain free of cancer cells.
If you've had bladder cancer in the past, your doctor may suggest Cxbladder Monitor as a test to rule out the return of bladder cancer. Compared to invasive and often uncomfortable procedures like the cystoscopy, Cxbladder Monitor can provide accurate results with an easy-to-collect urine sample, and the test is often used to reduce the frequency of cystoscopy.
Cxbladder's performance has been proven in over 20 peer-reviewed studies. In the US, the test is covered by Medicare and has been trusted by 4,400 urologists in more than 100,000 patients.
The Difference in Cancer Detection
Early detection saves lives and is a crucial factor when it comes to the treatment of bladder cancer. Cxbladder is a clinically proven cutting-edge genomic urine test that quickly and accurately detects or rules out bladder cancer in patients presenting with blood in the urine (or hematuria) and those being monitored for recurrence.
If you're worried about bladder cancer, a Cxbladder test can provide accurate results that will allow your Doctor to make informed decisions about your care. Ask your Doctor about Cxbladder today, or contact us for more information.

Cxbladder Triage
A sensitive urine-based laboratory test that rules out bladder cancer at an early stage. Cxbladder Triage is a rapid and reliable way to give you peace of mind.
When to use the test?
Cxbladder Triage is designed to help rule out the presence of bladder cancer at an early stage. It is particular appropriate for low-risk patients with hematuria.
Who should use the test?
Patients or clinicians looking to rule out bladder cancer or urothelial carcinoma (UC) when hematuria is present.
How does the test work?
Cxbladder Triage combines known bladder cancer risk factors with measured biomarker genes (in your urine) to help rule out the presence of bladder cancer.
What will the test result tell me?
Cxbladder Triage provides your doctor with a simple, clear result – indicating a low probability of bladder cancer, or if a standard clinical workup for bladder cancer is required. A Cxbladder Triage test result accurately identifies when bladder cancer is NOT likely to be present.
What is needed for the test?
A single urine sample, as well as some clinical information.
How soon is the test result available?
Within five working days.

Cxbladder Detect
A clinically proven urine-based laboratory test for identifying the probability of bladder cancer. Cxbladder Detect provides reliable results that can make a meaningful difference to your treatment.
When to use the test?
Cxbladder Detect assesses your probability of having bladder cancer. It gives your doctor reliable results that can make a meaningful difference in your diagnosis.
Who should use the test?
Doctors and specialists use this test to help diagnose bladder cancer, along with other tests and procedures within a urological evaluation.
How does the test work?
Cxbladder Detect measures the presence of five biomarker genes in your urine that are usually at elevated levels when bladder cancer is present.
What will the test result tell me?
Cxbladder Detect delivers your doctor a score for gene expression that indicates the probability of the presence of bladder cancer. A Cxbladder Detect test result accurately detects when bladder cancer IS MORE LIKELY to be present.
What is needed for the test?
A single urine sample.
How soon is the test result available?
Within five working days.

Cxbladder Monitor
An accurate and highly sensitive test to find the probability of disease recurrence. Cxbladder provides you with a non-invasive way of monitoring your disease. Use of Cxbladder Monitor may reduce the need for regular cystoscopies in some patients.
When to use the test?
Cxbladder Monitor is a laboratory test that has been developed specifically for patients undergoing surveillance for recurrence of urothelial carcinoma (UC).
Who should use the test?
Doctors and specialists use this to assess patients for recurrent bladder cancer or UC.
How does the test work?
Cxbladder Monitor combines clinical information about previous bladder cancer or UC with measured biomarker genes to help assess the probability that your cancer has recurred.
What will the test result tell me?
Cxbladder Monitor provides your doctor with a simple, clear result – indicating a low probability of recurrent bladder cancer. A Cxbladder Monitor test result accurately identifies when recurrent bladder cancer is NOT likely to be present.
What is needed for the test?
A single urine sample, as well as clinical information about previous bladder cancer or UC.
How soon is the test result available?
Within five working days.
