- Yair Lotan discusses the advancements in the ability to detect bladder cancer and bladder cancer recurrence in the clinic with blue light cystoscopy. Until recently, the technology was only available in the OR but now, with the approval of blue light flexible cystoscopy bladder cancer surveillance can now be done in the clinic. The blue light cystoscopy with CYSVIEW is performed in the clinic to d...
