Photocure has released remarkable findings from a Danish registry-based study, highlighting the positive impact of Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLC) on bladder cancer patient outcomes. Published in the Scandinavian Journal of Urology, the study underscores the significance of BLC in enhancing treatment efficacy.
Study Highlights Enhanced Recurrence and Progression Rates
The research, initially presented at the NUF 2022 congress in Helsinki, meticulously analyzed national registry data from Denmark. It focused on the use of photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) during primary Transurethral Resection of the Bladder (TURB) procedures. Findings reveal that clinics with higher BLC utilization witnessed reduced recurrence and progression rates in patients with Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC).
Implications for Bladder Cancer Care
These results advocate for the broader implementation of BLC in clinical settings, suggesting that increased adoption could lead to significant improvements in patient prognosis. By enabling more accurate detection of cancerous cells during initial surgeries, BLC offers a valuable tool in the fight against bladder cancer.
– Higher BLC usage correlates with lower recurrence rates.
– Clinics adopting BLC see a reduction in cancer progression.
– Enhanced diagnostic accuracy during primary TURB procedures.
– Potential for BLC to become a standard practice in NMIBC treatment.
The study positions Photocure as a key player in advancing bladder cancer diagnostics and treatment. As the medical community seeks effective strategies to combat cancer recurrence, BLC emerges as a promising solution backed by robust evidence.
Photocure’s commitment to innovation and patient-centered care is evident through this publication. By leveraging advanced photodynamic technologies, the company continues to contribute valuable insights and tools to the healthcare sector.

Integrating BLC into standard bladder cancer treatment protocols could markedly enhance patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs associated with cancer recurrence, and improve overall quality of life for those affected by NMIBC.
