New data on Cysview will be presented in at least three posters, of which two are on registry studies using real-world longitudinal data, a plenary session on Patient Reported Outcomes and during the Bladder Cancer Surgical Technique session. Dr. James McKiernan will present on "Enhanced Cystoscopy: BLC – TURBT + Surveillance Video". Earlier this year BLC with Cysview was approved by the FDA for use in surveillance cystoscopy (in addition to the already existing approval for TURBT's (Trans Urethral Resection of the Bladder)).
"I have been using BLC with Cysview for both TURBT's and surveillance. I am looking forward to sharing my experience. Using these new techniques more broadly should result in improved patient outcomes," said Dr. James McKiernan, John K Lattimer Professor and Chairman of Urology at Columbia University and Urologist-in-Chief New York Presbyterian Hospital New York.Photocure is also unveiling the company's strategic focus, exhibiting as The Bladder Cancer Company. "In this, the Bladder Cancer Awareness month, we are excited to announce our continued focus on bladder cancer and look forward to working with the bladder cancer community to increase awareness of Bladder Cancer and our breakthrough technology, BLC with Cysview," says Kjetil Hestdal, MD, PhD, President and CEO, Photocure ASA.
