Hey i know a great way for early detection
Slap about 200 Uro's upside the head when they give antibiotics for blood in the urine after you've waited 4 months for an appointment!
Works for me!

Yup, good stuff. Maybe they can come up with a cheap way to test for bladder cancer now that they have sequenced it.

Cure would be great but even early detection is a step in the right direction. :)

Yes, Pat! This is one of the first research studies I have seen that appears to be heading towards a REAL possibility of a permanent treatment! Years away, I would guess, but a real step in the right direction.
