Doctors might use several methods to diagnose this cancer:
- Urine Tests/Urinalysis: To check for blood and other substances.
- Cystoscopy: A thin tube with a lens is inserted through the urethra to examine the bladder.
- Transurethral Resection: A tool is used through the urethra to take tissue samples for biopsy.
- CT Urogram: A CT scan with iodine dye to check the urinary tract.
- MRI: Used if CT scans aren’t an option due to allergies or kidney issues.
