Before suggesting any kind of tests, the doctor might ask about the signs you might be facing along with your medical history.

Urine tests

If the doctor finds any blood in the urine, for urine cytology, a random sample of urine from a normal urination is often used to see if the urine has tumor cells.

Biopsy

During a biopsy, a pathologist takes a small sample of cells or tissue from the bladder and looks at it under a microscope to look for signs of cancer.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound makes pictures of the cancer using sound waves. It can help find out how big a bladder cancer is and if it has spread to other organs or tissues near the bladder.
