Rigid cystoscopy is particularly useful in the context of bladder cancer for several reasons:
Direct Visualization: It allows for direct visualization of the bladder lining and urethra, making it easier to identify suspicious areas that may indicate cancer. Biopsy: During the procedure, tissue samples can be taken for biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells. Treatment Planning: It helps in planning further treatment by determining the extent and location of the cancer. Monitoring: It is also used to monitor the bladder for recurrence of cancer after treatment.
