Workup
Cystoscopy, cytology, and random bladder and tumor biopsy were part of the workup. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Microbiology
- Helicobacter Pylori
The identification of Helicobacter pylori as the cause of chronic gastritis focused attention on this organism. Many studies have been done investigating the role of H. pylori in the etiology of IC. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Throughout treatment, imaging and laboratory tests are used to track the size of the tumor(s), monitor the response to treatment and modify the treatment plan when needed. [cancercenter.com]
Bladder tumor biopsy and resection, or a TURBT, is the first-line treatment for bladder cancer. The majority of people have bladder cancer that has not invaded the muscle wall when first diagnosed. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
Treatment Options by Stage For information about the treatments listed below, see the Treatment Option Overview section. [cancer.gov]
An abnormality on voided cytology or cystoscopy was more likely to occur after treatment for carcinoma in situ. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Although patients with NMIBC generally achieve good prognosis, showing survival rates at 5 years > 80% [ 2 ], some cases with this category of tumor exhibit an unfavorable clinical course, showing aggressive biological features [ 3 ]. [karger.com]
Patients with these cancers usually have a good prognosis (outlook). High-grade cancers look less like normal tissue. These cancers may also be called poorly differentiated or undifferentiated. [cancer.org]

Etiology
Many studies have been done investigating the role of H. pylori in the etiology of IC. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
The study was funded by the National Cancer Institute; UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center; the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program; and the STOP Cancer Foundation. [newsroom.ucla.edu]

Prevention
Drink extra fluids the first day or two after the procedure, as it will clear any bleeding and help prevent infection. [camc.org]
Nurses have an important role to play in preventing CAUTI, and bladder scanners are now being frequently used by nurses at the bedside to prevent costly and invasive procedures, such as unnecessary catheterization and cystoscopy. [w3.rn.com]

The biopsy site is cauterized to prevent bleeding. A drainage catheter is left in place to facilitate healing and drainage of clots. Complications include excessive bleeding, UTI, and bladder perforation. [msdmanuals.com]
