Chronic persistent

While an inpatient in the hospital for chronic persistent atrial fibrillation, the 60-year-old male patient is scheduled for a cystoscopy. This is a follow-up examination because the patient has a ­history of bladder carcinoma that was resected seven years previously. At that time, the patient received chemotherapy but has not been treated for the cancer for nearly six years. He has had yearly cystoscopic examinations, and no recurrence of bladder cancer has been found. The cystoscopy and biopsy of the bladder are performed by the urologist who documents the postoperative diagnosis “history of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder with no recurrence found, follow-up examination, mild benign prostatic hypertrophy evaluated.” The patient had a COVID-19 infection in the past six months but has fully recovered with no remaining illness or symptoms.
