Quality cancer care requires accurate and precise risk stratification, especially for early stage cancers. A large proportion of incident bladder cancer cases are diagnosed at early stage ( Bladder cancer affects over 70,000 people every year and can require expensive and invasive treatment. This project will improve our knowledge about which tumors are likely to progress to lethal disease. A system that could tell doctors how frequently a patient should be tested for recurrence and progression could greatly improve both care and costs. We will develop such a system for use in different healthcare settings.Public Health Relevance
