Significance of the interval between first and second transurethral resection on recurrence and progression rates in patients with high‐risk non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer treated with maintenance intravesical Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin

Abstract

The interval between first and second TUR should be ≤42 days in order to attain lower recurrence and progression rates. To our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating the effect of the interval between first and second TUR on patient outcomes.
