Abstract
Bladder cancer was the 10th most prevalent cancer worldwide in 2020. Currently, the gold standard for diagnosing bladder cancer is a cystoscopy followed by a transurethral resection of the bladder tumour. The tumour invasion and grade are needed to determine the treatment plan. However, a transurethral resection is an invasive procedure, needs planning and has complication risks. Therefore, finding an alternative option to determine tumour invasion and grade is necessary. That would also enable other treatment options for bladder cancer such as laser fulguration, chemo-resection and active surveillance. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has the potential to aid in the diagnosis of bladder cancer
