A member asked:
Why is a biopsy done with cystoscope sometimes and not others?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on fingings: If the doctor sees nothing abnormal, he would be unlikely to do a biopsy. If he sees a suspicious area that might be cancer for instance, then he would be likely to do a biopsy.
