A member asked:

What is the definition or description of: bladder biopsy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A small tissue piece: A bladder biopsy is typically done during a cystoscopy whereby a urologist inserts a special camera into the bladder and is able to take a piece of tissue (biopsy) to be further examined by a pathologist under the microscope. The pathologist then makes a specific diagnosis which can range from benign to malignant.
