Scientific titlePhotoDynamic Diagnosis (PDD) and results of biopsies in flexible cystoscopy of bladder tumour patients in an Out-Patient Department set up: a quality assurance study
Study acronymPDD in OPD
Study objectivesThe study was carried out to develop a method for photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) and bladder biopsies in flexible cystoscopes in the out-patient department (OPD). PDD in the operating theatre and cystoscopy and biopsy using flexible cystoscopes are routine methods in urology departments. The issue was to evaluate them for use in the OPD and to see the quality of biopsies obtained through the scopes. The examinations were performed to see whether we got a usable procedure for a subsequent study comparing the method in OPD and in the operating theatre during admittance to the ward.
Ethics approval(s)The Danish Medicines Agency (Danish FDA) and the Ethical Committee in Copenhagen feel that there isn't a need to evaulate this study as the methods are commonly used.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedNon-muscle invasive bladder tumour
InterventionInstillation of 50 cc fluorescent material in to the bladder 1 hour before cystoscopy. The instillation gives no side effects. Each treatment last for 15 - 30 minutes and there is no follow-up.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureAcceptable view in the bladder, measured immediately during the cystoscopy
Secondary outcome measuresSufficient biopsy information for a valid diagnosis, assessed a few days after cystoscopy where the pathologist give the histological description of the biopsy
