Detection of early bladder cancer by 5-aminolevulinic acid induced porphyrin fluorescence.
J Urol. 1996 Jan; 155(1):105-9; discussion 109-10.JU

Abstract

PURPOSE

We determined whether the sensitivity of detecting dysplasia or early bladder cancer can be improved by 5-aminolevulinic acid induced porphyrin fluorescence.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A 3% 5-aminolevulinic acid solution was instilled intravesically before cystoscopy in 104 patients. The 5-aminolevulinic acid induced porphyrin fluorescence was excited by violet light from a krypton ion laser (wavelength 406.7 nm.).

RESULTS

The sensitivity of the fluorescence cystoscopy (96.9%) was significantly (p < 0.0001) greater than that of white light cystoscopy (72.7%). There was no impact on specificity.

CONCLUSIONS

Due to the high sensitivity of the procedure fluorescence guided biopsies are recommended instead of random biopsies.
