IDENTIFY


The IDENTIFY study: the investigation and detection of urological neoplasia in patients referred with suspected urinary tract cancer – a multicentre observational study


Completed Project - Published BJUI 2021

IDENTIFY

Overview

IDENTIFY Study was an international multicentre study of approximately 11,000 patients across 26 countries, 110 centres. It looked at patients referred to secondary care with suspected urinary tract cancer. 

Inclusion Criteria: 

  1. Any patient aged 16 and over, with haematuria (visible or nonvisible) undergoing cystoscopy and investigation for urinary tract cancer.

Exclusion Criteria: 

  1. Patients with a previous or known diagnosis of primary upper or lower urinary tract cancers (renal, ureteric, bladder, prostate, urethral and penile cancers). This includes patients with suspected recurrence of urothelial cancers.
  2. Patients undergoing cystoscopy for reasons unrelated to ruling out urothelial cancer.

The study closed in 2019 and we have published our primary objective of the contemporary adjusted cancer prevalence in this population.

We have also published on our development of a cancer prediction model using patient characteristics, which you can use as a risk calculator in clinical practice (click here to access calculator). This has been validated and we will eminently publish the validation results.
