When you have a cystoscope and tumour s are found why do they say you have bladder cancer what if its not cancer or do they use this as all tumour are bladder cancer but may not be malignant 

  • Hi Lorraine. Doctors can usually tell by experience what they are looking at, but cannot be sure until the biopsies are in. Only the biopsy can confirm if cancer or not. Best wishes.
