Researchers are fine-tuning a simple urine test that can detect bladder cancer up to six months before other methods, with up to 95 percent accuracy. The test, called UroVysion, requires only a urine sample to detect genetic changes in cells from the bladder isolated from the urine, a key indicator of bladder cancer. (PRWeb Oct 7, 2009)

Like the cervical Pap test, the HALO Breast Pap Test can identify abnormal cells years before a larger, potentially cancerous lesion might develop. Because of that, this simple test is key to improving breast cancer outcomes. The test can be done in your doctor's office as part of your annual well-woman visit." (PRWeb Jul 17, 2009)
