Oslo, Norway, July 5, 2019: Photocure ASA announced today that a review paper on Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLC™) with Hexvix®/Cysview® with focus on the use in the office setting with flexible cystoscopes was published in the peer reviewed European Medical Journal.

With emerging data confirming similar clinical benefits for flexible BLC in the surveillance of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) to its current use in rigid cystoscopy, the authors state that there is a clear opportunity for flexible BLC to assert a central role in the treatment paradigm. In a clinical study, around 1 in 5 confirmed malignancies were detected only by flexible BLC (p<0.0001)1 and the introduction of flexible BLC for routine surveillance post-TURBT is supported by consensus among bladder cancer specialists2.
