[Hexaminolevulinate photodynamic diagnosis in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer: experience of the BLUE group].
OBJECTIVES Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) with hexaminolevulinate has been recently used to improve detection of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Our main purpose was to quantify the benefit of PDD vs. conventional white light cystoscopy (WL) in our area. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fluorescence-guided cystoscopy using hexaminolevulinate was performed at the time of the transurethral resection (TUR...

UNLABELLED Bladder cancer (BC) is the most common tumor of the urinary tract. White light cystoscopy (WLC) is currently considered the standard investigation for diagnosis of bladder tumors. Recent studies suggest that using exogenous fluorescence (photodynamic diagnosis, PDD) can improve its diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. OBJECTIVE Our study aims to analyze the value of using fluore...
متن کاملThe economic benefit of photodynamic diagnosis in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is the most expensive cancer to manage on a per patient basis due to the high recurrence rate, low mortality and the need for long term, often lifelong surveillance. Current white-light endoscopic surgery leads to a significant number of patients having "recurrent" cancer at their first follow-up cystoscopy. The introduction of a single dose of intravesical ch...

Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is one of the most prevalent and incident neoplastic conditions in the Western world. Its clinical management involves significant costs for health systems. Diagnosis and treatment are based on direct visualization of the disease and on detection of flat forms having no specific morphology and which are sometimes overlooked. Prognosis of NMIBC often depends on...

Ta tumors — Ta tumors are noninvasive papillary lesions that are confined to the urothelium and have not penetrated the basement membrane. These papillary tumors usually present as low-grade lesions that frequently recur multiple times prior to becoming invasive. The natural history of patients with Ta tumors without other evidence of invasive disease or Tis was illustrated by a retrospective s...
