Diagnostics

An accurate diagnosis starts the process. Centro Médico Teknon offers several tests:

• Urinalysis and urine cytology to check for abnormal cells.
• Cystoscopy, a visual exam of the bladder using a thin scope.

• Blood tests and tumor markers for additional analysis.
• PET-CT scans for detailed staging of the cancer.

These diagnostics help create a precise treatment plan.
