Importance of the Re-Transurethral Resection in Bladder Cancer Treatment
Journal Title: Üroonkoloji Bülteni - Year 2016, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the importance of repeat-transurethral resection (re-TUR) in bladder cancer treatment. Materials and Methods: A total of 90 with the diagnosis of grade pTa and all pT1 bladder cancer were included in the study. Re-TUR was performed in all patients 2-6 weeks after the initial TUR. Results: Six patients (6.6%) were re-staged as T2 according to the histopathological analysis of re-TUR specimens. The incidence of residual tumor following re-TUR performed by experienced surgeons was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: Re-TUR allows more accurate staging and effective treatment for patients with T1 high-grade bladder cancer in whom radical cystectomy can be a more effective treatment option.
