Re: CS>Cancer question

I believe that a doctor can sometimes see a tumor in the bladder, and 
might have a pretty good idea if it is cancerous or not by its 
appearance, but for definite proof a biopsy is likely necessary.  It is 
also possible they might be able to get that information from looking 
for and at any cells that end up in the urine, but I have never heard of 
that being done.

Doesn't there have to be a biopsy done?
