Abstract
To evaluate the diagnostic value of a new photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) system using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) for the diagnosis of bladder tumors. To validate whether false-positive findings caused by tangent effects in PDD can be resolved, we compared diagnostic accuracies between the new PDD system and a conventional PDD system. Among 30 transurethral bladder biopsies, 15 cases received ALA-PDD using rigid fluorescence cystoscopy (conventional PDD system), and flexible fluorescence cystoscopy with a twin mode monitor (new PDD system) was used in a separate set of 15 cases. To evaluated the usefulness of ALA-PDD, diagnostic accuracies were retrospectively compared between the conventional PDD system and the new PDD system. Of 207 specimens from 30 cases, we obtained 110 specimens using the conventional PDD system and 97 specimens using the new PDD system. Of these samples, we selected 30 distal bladder specimens each from both the conventional PDD system and the new PDD system. The overall sensitivity, specificity and false-positive rate for the new PDD system were 100%, 82.6%, and 17.4%, respectively. Those of the conventional PDD system were 83.3%, 66.2% and 33.8%, respectively. The overall false-positive rate of the new P...Continue Reading
