URO FISH: Evaluation of Prostate and Bladder Biopsy and Cytologic Specimens

The URO Probe is designed to detect aneuploidy for chromosomes 3, 7, 17 and loss of the 9p21 locus via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in urine specimens from patients with hematuria suspected of having bladder cancer. Results from the URO FISH are intended for use, in conjunction with and not in lieu of current standard diagnostic procedures, as an aid for initial diagnosis of bladder carcinoma in patients with hematuria and subsequent monitoring for tumor recurrence in patients previously diagnosed with bladder cancer.
