Cystview causes lesions to glow

Explanation:
Cystview highlights cancerous bladder tissue by making it fluoresce pink under blue-light cystoscopy. The agent is instilled into the bladder and is taken up more by tumor cells, where it’s converted to a fluorescent compound called protoporphyrin IX. When blue light shines on the bladder, this compound emits pink (red-pink) light, so the affected lesions stand out against the normal blue background. The pink glow is the visual cue that helps distinguish malignant tissue from normal mucosa. The other colors don’t reflect this specific fluorescence effect produced by Cystview.
