Enhanced detection of bladder cancer using machine learning analysis of routine urinary sediment data.

Machine learning applied to routine urine samples detects bladder cancer with 84% balanced accuracy, suggesting a practical screening aid.

This algorithm development/validation study examined Enhanced detection of bladder cancer using machine learning analysis of routine urinary sediment data. The PubMed abstract reports that Balanced accuracy was 0;84, and cross-validation demonstrated stable performance (accuracy 0;80).
