Preoperative Pyuria as a Predictor of False‐Positive Rates in the Photodynamic Diagnosis of Nonmuscle‐Invasive Bladder Cancer Using Oral 5‐Aminolevulinic Acid
Our findings suggest that the presence of preoperative pyuria did not affect the ability of PDD to detect cancer but may increase its false-positive rate and that preoperative pyuria is a useful predictor of false-positive PDD rates.
