[Hexaminolevulinate fluorescence cystoscopy in 2009].
Fluorescence cystoscopy improves the detection of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, particularly carcinoma in situ, and reduces recurrence. The technique is well tolerated with few side effects. Guidelines recommend fluorescence cystoscopy in multifocal tumors, tumors >3cm, early recurrence, High grade cytology, follow-up of high-risk bladder cancer (T1G3 and CIS).
