The significance of cystoscopy for the diagnosis of urothelial tumour.
Authors have studied the aetiology of asymptomatic microhaematuria on the basis of complete urologic examinations including cystoscopy, excretory urography, ultrasound, urinalysis and urinary cytology. In 10 out of 422 patients transitional cell carcinomas of the urinary bladder were found. Bladder cancer was the most common malignancy among the lesions found by our evaluation of patients with microhaematuria. We conclude that cystoscopy should be an essential part in the aetiological evaluation of microscopic haematuria.
