In a haematuria diagnostic service, covering experience with 95 patients, 12 new cases of cancer of the bladder, one of cancer of the kidney, and one of cancer of the penis were identified--all at an early stage. Patients presenting with haematuria were investigated rapidly without disruption of the routine work of the urological unit. Patients who identified the symptoms and sought advice early were given a definite diagnosis quickly, and treatment for any malignant disease was started early. The delay that undoubtedly endangers patients' lives has been considerably reduced by this service.
在一项血尿诊断服务中，涵盖了95名患者的经验，共确诊了12例早期膀胱癌、1例肾癌和1例阴茎癌。出现血尿的患者得到了快速检查，未干扰泌尿外科的日常工作。那些发现症状并尽早寻求建议的患者很快得到了明确诊断，任何恶性疾病的治疗也尽早开始。这项服务大大减少了无疑会危及患者生命的延误。
