Cystoscopy: Bladder cancer may be seen on imaging studies or with an abnormal urine test but the definitive test is a cystoscopy and biopsy of the bladder. A cystoscopy is a telescope study to visualize the bladder lining.

Cancer: It is a cancer involving the lining of the bladder that will spread into the muscle layers of the bladder if left untreated. It is a malignant condition that requires surgery to diagnose and as an initial form of therapy. Smoking is the most common risk factor for bladder cancer.
