Comparison of Re-TUR Results in Primary Patients with Non-muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) of Low, Intermediate, and High-risk for Recurrence Based on the EORTC Scoring System
Abstract:Background: Bladder cancer is the second most common urologic malignancy. Transurethral resection (TUR) is the standard initial treatment for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The high prevalence of residual tumor in some patients has necessitated repeat TUR (re-TUR). Previous studies have shown the quality of primary resection to impact re-TUR outcomes, but the role of tumor biology remains unclear. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of tumor biology on re-TUR results in primary (no… Show more
