Assessment Of Bladder Tumors Stage And Grade By Outpatient Flexible Cystoscopy Performed By Urology Resident

Assessment Of Bladder Tumors Stage And Grade By Outpatient Flexible Cystoscopy Performed By Urology Resident

This will be a prospective trial comparing the perspective gross morphological of bladder tumor assessment done by outpatient flexible cystoscopy performed by resident, inpatient rigid cystoscopy done by senior staff and their prediction of the degree of invasion of bladder tumor plus the prediction of the grade compared with the standard pathological result.

Also, assessment of the patient reported outcomes after both flexible and rigid cystoscopy will be done.

In the long run of the study, the prognostic gross morphology with recurrence, progression and cancer specific survival will be assessed.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Men and women 18 years or older
• Denovo or recurrent NMIBC
• Bladder mass discovered in hematuria investigation
• Willing to share in study

Exclusion Criteria:

• inability to cooperate with flexible cystoscopic evaluations
• cystoscopies for other kind of intervention (e.g., removal of a ureteral stent)
• Untreated infections
• Other causes of storage or voiding symptoms as untreated benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or interstitial cystitis
• Unpassable urethral stricture
