Abstract
Screening should decrease disease-related mortality by detecting cancer before symptoms prompt evaluation. Several characteristics of bladder cancer make screening an attractive option. Nevertheless, premature adoption of a screening program has considerable negative consequences. This article reviews the current literature regarding screening for bladder cancer and emphasizes the need for prospective, clinical trials before considering practice modification.
摘要
筛查应通过在症状促使进行评估之前检测出癌症来降低与疾病相关的死亡率。膀胱癌的几个特征使筛查成为一个有吸引力的选择。然而，过早采用筛查计划会产生相当大的负面后果。本文回顾了目前关于膀胱癌筛查的文献，并强调在考虑改变实践之前需要进行前瞻性临床试验。
