Blue light cystoscopy & standard cystoscopy

My urologist, at a major medical (teaching and research) center, will do blue light cysto after my next round of 3 BCG treatments. He says it’s much better for seeing CIS tumors, which is what I had prior to TURBT. He also says an advantage of being at this big hospital is that I won’t have to worry about a BCG shortage compromising my treatment. Best wishes to you. Hope your talk with the doctor goes well and you find comfort in the answers you get.

@txtim
Thank you for your helpful response. My urologist installs the BCG in his office (as many do) and as I view the screen, I can see that he is searching but may not notice all the tiny tumors. The improved blue light cystoscopy method can light up anything which goes unnoticed and, of course, this would be preferable.

I hope your next cystoscope goes well. Sending my good wishes.
