Talking about the research, Professor James Catto, said: “The distribution of self-testing kits marks a key milestone for this important study. As well as investigating whether the idea works, the trial has the potential to directly save lives by providing people in Yorkshire with access to a simple diagnostic test they can complete in the comfort of their own homes.
“A quarter of bladder cancer cases are diagnosed at a late stage, after symptoms have become apparent. Screening can help find cancer before symptoms start. This means cancer can be diagnosed early when there are usually more treatment options available.”
Meanwhile, Doctor Kathryn Scott, chief executive of Yorkshire Cancer Research, added: “At Yorkshire Cancer Research, we fund world-leading research that helps save lives right here in Yorkshire.
“By looking at how we can best screen for bladder cancer, the YORKSURe trial is helping do just that. We are grateful for the generosity of people across the region whose support has made this important clinical trial possible.”
