Inclusion Criteria
Subjects (at least 18 years old and mentally competent) that present with bladder cancer symptoms at the outpatient clinic and are scheduled for transurethral resection of tumor or biopsy (TURTB) are candidates for recrution
Exclusion Criteria
Subjects scheduled for TURBT that present with macroscopic hematuria at the time of procedure are excluded from the study as the excess of blood in urine complicates the cystoscopic guidance to sites and affects the Raman spectra.
