Screening, Testing, and Staging of Bladder Cancer

If you are concerned about the possibility of bladder cancer, your doctor will ask you about your medical history and perform a thorough physical exam.

This may include an internal examination during which your doctor gently inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into your rectum or vagina.

There are also a number of test to help diagnose bladder cancer. If cancer is present, diagnosis also depends on the stage of the cancer.
