This publication shows that Hexvix guided fluorescence cystoscopy ( Hexvix ), as an adjunct to conventional white-light cystoscopy, improves the detection of bladder cancer and reduces the rate of early tumour recurrence, compared with white-light cystoscopy alone.

For example, it is often prescribed after the use of an in-dwelling Foley catheter, endoscopic ( cystoscopy ) procedures, or after urethral, prostate, or urinary bladder surgery which may result in irritation of the epithelial lining of the urinary tract.

After a follow-up period up to 5.5 years, the number of patients who have experienced recurrence of their bladder cancer is lower, and the time it takes before the recurrence occurs is longer when they had Hexvix-guided fluorescence cystoscopy.

Now the diagnosis has been confirmed by either cystoscopy or a prior urethrography, the patient is placed in the lithotomy position, and the urinary meatus is cleansed with an appropriate surgical cleansing agent ( scrub ), usually containing Povidone-iodine, then surgically draped.

Since that time, many urologists will order a " urine C & S " ( urinalysis with bacterial / fungal cultures and testing for sensitivities to anti-infective medications ) prior to the performance of the cystoscopy, and as part of the pre-operative workup.

Secondly, they strongly encourage the exclusion of confusable diseases through an extensive and expensive series of tests including ( A ) a medical history and PSA in men over 40, ( C ) flowmetry and post-void residual urine volume by ultrasound scanning and ( D ) cystoscopy.

It allows only the following diagnostic tests to be used in determining the stage : palpation ( feeling with the fingers ), inspection, colposcopy, endocervical curettage, hysteroscopy, cystoscopy, proctoscopy, intravenous urography, and X-ray examination of the lungs and skeleton, and cervical conization.
