A Better, Faster Way to Detect Bladder Cancer
You can detect bladder cancer sooner and better visualize tumor margins with Narrow
Band Imaging (NBI), which enables effective targeting of biopsies of tumors not seen
under white light without the use of dyes or drugs. In studies, NBI has visualized super-
ficial bladder cancer lesions in an additional 17% of patients as compared to white
light, says Olympus. NBI is not intended to replace histopathological sampling as a
means of diagnosis, but rather is a complementary method to traditional white light
cystoscopy for the detection of de novo and recurrent bladder cancer, says Olympus.
