Bladder Cancer Diagnosis
Medical History and Physical Examination: A healthcare provider will assess symptoms and perform a physical exam.
Urinalysis: A urine test can reveal blood (hematuria) or abnormal cells.
Cystoscopy: A thin tube with a camera is inserted into the bladder to visually inspect for tumors or abnormalities.
Biopsy: If abnormal tissue is found, a biopsy may be conducted during cystoscopy to confirm the presence of cancer.
Imaging Tests: CT scans, MRIs, or ultrasounds may be used to evaluate the extent of the disease.
