Bladder cancer
Why do I need surveillance cystoscopy after bladder cancer?
Why do you need surveillance cystoscopy after bladder cancer?
In brief
Bladder cancer can come back, even after successful treatment. Regular cystoscopy (a quick look inside the bladder using a thin camera) can catch it early, while it's easier to treat.
What it involves
The schedule depends on your risk, often every three to six months at first, then less often. Stick with your surveillance visits, and come in sooner if blood shows up in your urine.
For our Cobb County patients
Our urologists welcome Cobb residents to the Marietta Clinic & Surgery Center, 1371 Church Street Extension NW. Should your plan include a procedure, you'll have it in this same Marietta building.
