Do we need repeat <scp>transurethral resection</scp> after <i>en bloc</i> resection for <scp>pathological T1</scp> bladder cancer?

Abstract

A reTUR after ERBT for pT1 bladder cancer appears not to improve either recurrence or progression. Surgical margin status affects prognosis and reTUR outcomes. A reTUR can be omitted after ERBT in patients with pT1 bladder cancer and negative margins; for those with positive horizontal or vertical margins, reTUR should remain the standard until proven otherwise.
