Your provider may remove tumors during the cystoscopy. The tumors will be checked for cancer. A biopsy is used to remove a small piece of tissue from your bladder. The tissue is sent to the lab and tested for cancer.How is bladder cancer treated?
Bladder biopsy of normal-looking mucosa, as determined by cystoscopy, might not add clinical value in patients with positive voided-urine cytology after treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Methods to add value to bladder biopsies, such as characterization of molecular alterations, should ...

Background:To determine the frequency of recurrence of superficial tumours on first check cystoscopy i.e. 3 months after complete resection of tumour.Methods: In this descriptive study adult male and female patients (n=41) presenting with a superficial transitional cell carcinoma of urinary bladder ...
Bladder cancer ranks within the top 10 most diagnosed cancers worldwide and is among the most expensive cancers to treat due to the high recurrence rates which require lifetime follow-ups. The primary tool for diagnosis is cystoscopy, which heavily relies on doctors' expertise and interpretation....

CancerPhotodynamicCystoscopyThe authors evaluated the role of photodynamic cystoscopy in the detection of additional urothelial lesions, mainly carcinoma in situ, that would not be detected solely with white light cystoscopy, leading to disease understaging. From 2009 to 2011, 70 patients underwent white...
