Treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMBIC) requires direct visual appreciation of the tumor. Transurethral resection that is dependent solely on white light cystoscopy (WLC) often fails to accurately stage or completely resect NMIBC. These deficiencies of WLC are significant contributors to the high rates of recurrence and eventual progression to muscle invasive disease. This article looks at technologies that are being used in adjunct to WLC to augment the urologist%26apos;s ability to identify, stage, and treat NMIBC.
