Does an ultrasound rule out bladder cancer or do you need a cystoscopy just to be sure?

yes, but cystoscopy is better because you can biopsy any questionable lesions.
No early bladder cancers cannot be detected by ultrasound
No. Best to get a cystoscopy with a urologist.
Cystoscopy is more accurate for small, early stage cancers and therefore necessary.
