Abstract
A blind study comparing abdominal ultrasound and cystoscopy was carried out in 186 patients. 20 bladder tumours sized from 2 to 5 mm were overlooked. Combination with urine cytology increased the diagnostic sensitivity. In order to reduce costs and patient inconvenience in the bladder tumour control population abdominal ultrasound and urine cytology is advocated as an alternative to cystoscopy. This control modality seems safe in patients with “low-risk” bladder tumour diseaseKeywords
