Initial Experience with Hexvix Induced Fluorescence Blue Light Cystoscopy in Bladder Cancer Diagnosis
Introduction. Nowadays, Hexvix (hexyl aminolevulinate HAL) fluorescence cystoscopy represents an increasingly acknowledged diagnostic method for patients with bladder cancer. The aim of our study was to establish the place of this procedure in superficial bladder tumors diagnosis, and to compare it with standard white light cystoscopy (WLC). Material and methods. In December 2007, Hexvix fluore...
متن کاملThe Impact of Blue Light Cystoscopy with Hexaminolevulinate (HAL) on Progression of Bladder Cancer – A New Analysis
Background: The International Bladder Cancer Group (IBCG) recently proposed a new definition of disease progression in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), including change in T-stage, change to T2 or higher or change from low to high grade. Objective: To establish whether blue light cystoscopy with hexaminolevulinate (HAL) impacts the rate of progression and time to progression using th...
متن کاملHexaminolevulinate guided fluorescence cystoscopy reduces recurrence in patients with nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer.
PURPOSE We assessed the impact that improved detection of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer with hexaminolevulinate fluorescence cystoscopy may have on early recurrence rates. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective, randomized study enrolled 814 patients suspected of having bladder cancer at increased risk for recurrence. All patients underwent white light cystoscopy and mapping of lesions, f...
متن کاملPhotodynamic diagnosis of bladder cancer compared with white light cystoscopy: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the test performance and clinical effectiveness of photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) compared with white light cystoscopy (WLC) in people suspected of new or recurrent bladder cancer. METHODS A systematic review was conducted of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), nonrandomized comparative studies, or diagnostic cross-sectional studies comparing PDD ...
متن کاملHexvix blue light fluorescence cystoscopy – a promising approach in superficial bladder tumors diagnosis
INTRODUCTION Nowadays, Hexvix blue light cystoscopy (BLC) represents an increasingly acknowledged diagnostic method for patients with bladder cancer. The aim of our study was to establish the place of this procedure in superficial bladder tumors diagnosis and to compare it with standard white light cystoscopy (WLC). MATERIAL AND METHODS Between December 2007 and January 2008, WLC and BLC were...
