Four years experience of a haematuria diagnostic service in a District General Hospital, comprising 215 patients, has identified 42 new cases of bladder cancer, 5 of renal cell cancer and 3 of renal pelvis cancer. Urine and blood tests were non-contributory in their diagnosis but intravenous urography was diagnostic in the majority. The period of time between presentation to the general practitioner and treatment of the cancer has been reduced to less than the time normally spent on the Out-Patient waiting list.
一家地区综合医院开展血尿诊断服务四年,共涉及215例患者,其中确诊42例膀胱癌新病例、5例肾细胞癌和3例肾盂癌。尿液和血液检查对其诊断无帮助,但大多数病例通过静脉肾盂造影得以确诊。从患者向全科医生就诊到癌症治疗的时间已缩短至低于门诊候诊名单上通常花费的时间。
