What are the further tests for bladder cancer

Further testing for bladder cancer may include:

① Urine exfoliated cell examination. It is a simple and non-invasive examination method, which is of great value in the diagnosis of bladder cancer. About 85% of bladder cancer patients can test positive in urine exfoliated cell examination.

② Cystoscopy: It can directly see the growth site, size, number, shape, presence or absence of pedicles, infiltration range, and whether there is bleeding in the tumor.

③B-ultrasound examination. By filling the bladder and fully stretching the bladder wall mucosa, B-ultrasound can measure the size, location and degree of mucosal infiltration of the tumor. If it is a transrectal ultrasound scan, it can show the deformity of the bladder wall at the base of the tumor and the echo of the mass protruding into the bladder cavity, which can be used to determine the scope of the bladder tumor.

④CT examination. When bladder tumor tissue grows into the cavity or outside the wall and metastasizes, CT imaging can fully display its shape and size with an accuracy rate of about 80%. This performance is helpful for the staging of bladder cancer.
