A member asked:

Urine test checks for bladder cancer or other problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be both: Many tests can be run on urine, although the selection is not as vast as blood testing. The basic test is called a urinalysis or ua. A urine cytology is a separate test where a pathologist evaluates the urine for cancer cells. Please ask your doctor more about the testing.
