Yes, to identify what type of cancer, where it is and to what extent it has developed.
The benefit of CXBT in the diagnosis process is that many people who have symptoms that might be bladder cancer (e.g. micro hematuria) are reluctant to have a cystoscopy as it's an unpleasant procedure and frequently negative for cancer. Accordingly some positive cases are not detected early when treatment would be more successful. CXBT with it 99% NPV gives a patient peace of mind that their symptoms are not bladder cancer.
