Overview

Abdomen and pelvis CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of bladder cancer. Findings on CT scan include extravesical extension to lymph nodes, the liver or other structures around the bladder, nodal involvement in the pelvis or retroperitoneum, visceral, pulmonary, or osseous metastasis.

CT Scan

  • Abdomen and pelvis CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of bladder cancer. Findings on CT scan diagnostic of bladder cancer include:[1][2][3][4]
    • Determine tumor size
    • Extravesical extension to lymph nodes, the liver or other structures around the bladder
    • To distinguish T3b tumors and T4 tumors
    • Nodal involvement in the pelvis or retroperitoneum, visceral, pulmonary, or osseous metastasis
    • Tumor involvement or obstruction of the upper urinary tract
