My 94 year old mom will be having a TURBT this Wednesday for polyps seen in bladder and urine cytology suspicious for malignancy. A full blood work-up came back today with everything in normal range, except RBC was 3.59 (I think 4.2 or 4.5 is low end of normal range). It was 3.9 3 months ago and 4.4 last month, so maybe this fluctuates.
What might this blood work indicate in relation to malignancy, or ‘catching it early’, or nothing at all?
