Abstract
Four years experience of a haematuria diagnostic service in a District General Hospital, comprising 215 patients, has identified 42 new cases of bladder cancer, 5 of renal cell cancer and 3 of renal pelvis cancer. Urine and blood tests were non-contributory in their diagnosis but intravenous urography was diagnostic in the majority. The period of time between presentation to the general practitioner and treatment of the cancer has been reduced to less than the time normally spent on the Out-Patient waiting list.
