Abstract :
Bladder cancer is diagnosed and followed-up with cystoscopy as the “gold standard”. For many decades white light cystoscopy (WLC) has been used. However, several forms of bladder cancer such as the high-risk carcinoma in situ (CIS) may be misdiagnosed with WLC. As WLC still remains the cornerstone for the diagnosis of bladder cancer progress in endoscopic technology is warranted to improve the diagnostic accuracy of both rigid and flexible cystoscopy.
