Cystoscopy and Proctoscopy

If advanced cancer is diagnosed and your doctor suspects the cancer may have spread beyond the cervix, a cytoscopy or proctoscopy may be done using a lighted tube to view the inside of the bladder (cystoscopy) or the anus, rectum, and lower colon (proctoscopy). The procedure can be performed as an outpatient using minimal sedation or under general anesthesia.
