Sexual Function in Patients Suspected of Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

March 8, 2016 updated by: Peter Busch Østergren, Herlev Hospital
The purpose of the study is to investigate sexual function in patients suspected of non muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The investigators hypothesis is that reduced sexual function is underdiagnosed in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and that active examination and treatment may worsen the sexual function.
