A member asked:
When a doctor sends you straight to a specialist for a biopsy rather than doing it himself during cystoscopy, is this normal? or an indicator he thinks the mass found was cancer? is this a normal practice since hes not a urologist?

See bwlow: Hard to know what he was thinking - does not mean it is cancer -followup with the urologist -good luck

In my 40s. Recurring RBC in urine for years. Urologist recommended cystoscopy. Is it really necessary at this point since it's been yrs? If it cancer, wouldn't I have known it by now? Can interstitial cystitis cause this? Would prefer to avoid test?

I had one worm-shaped blood clot in my urine 2 weeks ago. My urologist wants to perform a cystoscopy and abdom/pelvic CT to rule out cancer. However, Ive had numerous CTs over the years incl. one just 8 months ago. Can MRI and/or US be substituted?
