Emerging Endoscopic and Photodynamic Techniques for Bladder Cancer Detection and Surveillance
نویسندگان
چکیده
This review provides an overview of emerging techniques, namely, photodynamic diagnosis (PDD), narrow band imaging (NBI), Raman spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography, virtual cystoscopy, and endoscopic microscopy for its use in the diagnosis and surveillance of bladder cancer. The technology, clinical evidence and future applications of these approaches are discussed with particular emphasis on PDD and NBI. These approaches show promise to optimise cystoscopy and transurethral resection of bladder tumours.

The 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...
متن کاملEmerging endoscopic imaging technologies for bladder cancer detection.
Modern urologic endoscopy is the result of continuous innovations since the early nineteenth century. White-light cystoscopy is the primary strategy for identification, resection, and local staging of bladder cancer. While highly effective, white light cystoscopy has several well-recognized shortcomings. Recent advances in optical imaging technologies and device miniaturization hold the potenti...

PURPOSE Bladder cancer presents as a spectrum of different diatheses. Accurate assessment for individualized treatment depends on initial diagnostic accuracy. Detection relies on white light cystoscopy accuracy and comprehensiveness. Aside from invasiveness and potential risks, white light cystoscopy shortcomings include difficult flat lesion detection, precise tumor delineation to enable compl...
متن کاملConcurrent bladder cancer in patients undergoing photodynamic diagnostic ureterorenoscopy: how many lesions do we miss under white light cystoscopy?
INTRODUCTION There is an ongoing debate on panurothelial changes in the upper and lower urinary tract as multifocal presentation of urothelial cancer is well recognised. Concurrent bladder cancer impacts the outcome of the upper urinary tract urothelial cancer treatment, while its detection still relies on the white light cystoscopy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all patien...
متن کاملPrevalence of Bladder Cancer in the Kerman Province, Southeastern Iran, using the Complete Prevalence Method
Background: Bladder cancer is the 10th most common cancer worldwide. We aimed to assess the prevalence of bladder cancer in the Kerman Province, in southeast Iran. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we used data on 1272 patients with bladder cancer registered in the Kerman population-based cancer registry from 2014 to 2017. There were two parts of data including observed dat...
