Therapeutic benefit of second-look transurethral resection of bladder tumors for newly diagnosed T1 bladder cancer: a single-center experience

Purpose In recent years, second-look transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) has been recommended for patients with stage T1 bladder cancer after the initial TURBT for restaging and deciding the subsequent treatment. However, we believe that second-look TURBT has therapeutic benefits, such as low incidence of recurrence and progression. Therefore, we compare the differences in long-term outcome between patients who did and did not accept second-look TURBT for stage T1 bladder cancer.
