The Alere NMP22 BladderChek is a rapid, simple, and non-invasive test to support the detection and monitoring of bladder cancer. The test detects a nuclear matrix protein released by urothelial tumor cells, indicating the presence of bladder cancer. With a sensitivity of over 82% (up to 94% depending on the tumor stage) and a specificity of 76%, the test offers a reliable means of early diagnosis of bladder cancer. When combined with urine cytology, the sensitivity increases to nearly 100%.
