膀胱镜检查在膀胱癌诊断的研究进展

膀胱癌是最常见的泌尿生殖系肿瘤之一,目前膀胱镜检查仍然是诊断膀胱癌最可靠的方法.近年来随着科学技术的不断成熟,在普通膀胱镜检查的基础上结合其他诊断技术,形成了荧光膀胱镜、窄带成像膀胱镜、光学相干断层扫描膀胱镜、虚拟膀胱镜以及共聚焦显微膀胱镜等检查手段.这些检查手段提高了膀胱癌诊断的准确性,有助于指导膀胱癌的早期治疗,从而改善预后.

Cystoscopy in the diagnosis of bladder cancer: recent progress

Bladder cancer is one of the most commonly seen cancers of the urogenital system. Currently cystoscopy is still the most reliable method for diagnosis of bladder carcinoma. The related technologies have progressed greatly over the past several years. Based on the conventional cystoscopy, several strategies have been developed for diagnosis of bladder cancer, including fluorescence cystoscopy, narrow band imaging cystoscopy, optical coherence tomography cystoscopy, virtual cystoscopy, confocal microscopy, and so on. All these strategies have improved the diagnosis accuracy and can help the early diagnosis of bladder cancer, and thus improve the prognosis.
