Abstract

The results of treatment were analyzed in 308 in patients with non-muscle-invasive (NMI) bladder cancer (BC). The incidence of recurrences was studied in patients with NMI BC who had undergone primary and second look (SL) transurethral resection (TUR). SL TUR is used to identify residual Т1G2G3 tumors and to specify the stage of the disease, owing to which treatment policy for BC is changed. The authors revealed significant differences between the groups in the rate of early and recurrent NMI BC and its occurrence time during 5 years. The findings show the benefit of relapse-free survival after SL TUR in the T1G2-G3 BC group (p = 0.018). The authors also discuss whether it is reasonable to use SL TUR that allows this procedure to be recommended for patients with G2-G3 NMI BC in routine clinical practice.
