Bladder Cancer Diagnosis
Before you start any treatment, it’s vital that your doctor has a clear and complete understanding of what’s causing your symptoms. When making a diagnosis, our experts take the time to learn about your medical history and understand your overall health. We conduct a thorough diagnostic examination and tests that may include:
Cystoscopy and Transurethral Resection
A cystoscopy is a procedure in which a small tube with a camera is inserted into the urethra (the duct through which urine leaves the body) and slowly moved into the bladder. This allows the doctor to examine the lining of the bladder and take a sample (biopsy). A cystoscopy and transurethral resection or biopsy — removal of the sample through the urethra — is typically done using anesthesia. People who have a cystoscopy can usually go home the same day.
Urine Cytology
A urine sample called urine cytology can be checked for cancer cells.
Imaging of the Urinary Tract
Various imaging tests can be used to examine the urinary tract. These may include:
- CT scans, which obtain cross-sectional pictures of the body and can help doctors determine if the cancer cells are only in the bladder or if they have spread to other areas
- MRI, which can help doctors see if the cancer has invaded the muscle in the bladder wall and, if so, how deeply
- PET scans, which take images that help doctors tell apart active and dormant tissue to help determine whether it’s normal or cancerous
These imaging tests often involve contrast dye that is injected into your hand or arm. The dye flows into your bladder to identify areas that might be cancerous.
