Many early bladder cancers are not going to be picked up by CT, and a cystoscopy is more likely to identify an early bladder cancer. If a cancer is detected by a cystoscopic biopsy, at that point another CT or MRI is indicated.

You definitely need the cystoscopy. If you are hesitant about the CT have an MRI. 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?
