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 کاملImplementing hexaminolevulinate HCl blue light cystoscopy: a nursing perspective.
Hexaminolevulinate HCl is a diagnostic imaging agent used with blue light during cystoscopy to help detect non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Blue light cystoscopy performed using hexaminolevulinate HCl has been found to detect more papillary non-muscle-invasive bladder tumors than cystoscopy performed using standard white light. Because bladder instillation and retention requirements of hexam...

متن کاملBlue light cystoscopy for detection and treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
In patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, fluorescence cystoscopy can improve the detection and ablation of bladder tumors. In this paper we describe the technique and practical aspects of hexaminolevulinate (HAL) fluorescence cystoscopy, also known as "blue light cystoscopy".
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...
