Urine VOC Investigation in Bladder Cancer Diagnosis

Investigation of Urine Volatile Organic Compounds as Novel Diagnostic Biomarker in Bladder Cancer

The goal of this study to investigate the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the urine samples of both healthy individual and bladder cancer patients, using gas chromatography - mass spectrometry. Researchers aim to find a set of certain VOCs specific to bladder cancer and use this set to construct a diagnostic model that can help diagnosing bladder cancer. Participants will be asked to collect their early morning midstream urine in a predesignated container. Researchers will compare urine VOCs from bladder cancer patients and healthy individuals to see if there is any VOC whose concentration differ significantly among the two groups.

Conditions

Detailed Description

Specifically, participants will be asked to collect 35-45 ml of their early morning midstream urine sample in a predesignated polytetrafluoroethylene bottle. Researcher will collect participants' health information, including their: 1)smoking history; 2)comorbidity; 3) history of past urological procedure; 4)medication; 5)pathology diagnosis after surgery, if participants have bladder cancer.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Patients with confirmed bladder tumor
Patients with bladder tumor, confirmed by cystoscopy and radiology. Age ranging from 18 to 80 years old. Women of childbearing age should have negative urine pregnancy test.
gas chromatography - mass spectrometry will be used to assess the composition of VOCs in urine samples of all participants.
Healthy volunteers
Individuals with no known disease and normal urinalysis. Age ranging from 18 to 80 years old. Women of childbearing age should have negative urine pregnancy test.
gas chromatography - mass spectrometry will be used to assess the composition of VOCs in urine samples of all participants.
