Overview

Cystoscopy may be helpful for initial diagnosis and staging of urethral cancer. Findings of cystoscopy include Multiple biopsy specimens from various locations and gross extravesical extension, invasion of adjacent organs, or pelvic sidewall involvement

Other Imaging Findings

  • Cystoscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of bladder cancer. Findings diagnostic of bladder cancer include:[1][2][3]
    • Multiple bladder biopsy specimens from various locations
    • Gross extravesical extension, invasion of adjacent organs, or pelvic sidewall involvement
    • Detects more tumors (both papillary and CIS) with fluorescence cystoscopy than white-light cystoscopy
