OBJECTIVETo evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of photodynamic diagnostic ureterorenoscopy after oral administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) for upper urinary tract urothelial cancers.PATIENTS AND METHODSIn this audit, twenty-six patients underwent thirty-nine procedures (cystoscopy/ureterorenoscopy) following oral administration of 5-ALA for photodynamic diagnosis (PDD).Twenty mg/kg body weight of 5-ALA was given orally 3-4 hours prior to the planned endoscopic visualisation.Following standard white light cystoscopy and ureterorenoscopy, photodynamic diagnostic endoscopy was performed using D-light system (Olympus PDD cystoscope and 7.5Fr KARL STORZ PDD Flex-X ureterorenoscope) to detect fluorescence.Biopsies were carried out from all suspicious areas, noting if lesions were detected under white or blue light or both.RESULTSA total of sixty-two biopsies were performed for suspicious urothelial lesions (35 bladder, 26 ureter/renal pelvis and 1 from prostatic urethra).Of the 35 bladder biopsies, 11 lesions were seen under both white and blue light and 91% of these were malignant.While 24 (68.5%) biopsies were taken from lesions seen only under blue light and 45.8% of these were malignant.Similarly, of the 26 ureteric/renal pelvicalyceal biopsies, 11 were concurrent in both white and blue light and 100% of these were malignant.While 10 (38.5%) lesions were seen only under blue light and 70% of these were malignant.CONCLUSIONSPhotodynamic diagnosis using oral 5-ALA is safe and feasible with additional advantages of detecting lesions not visualised with conventional white light endoscopy.This may translate into more complete treatment thereby decreasing subsequent recurrences and possibly progression of the upper urinary tract urothelial cancers.
