Summary

This study compares a newer, single surgery using special dye and light (PDD-TURBT) against the standard approach of two surgeries for early-stage bladder cancer. About 112 adults with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer will be randomly assigned to either the new single-surgery method or the standard two-surgery method. The goal is to see if the single surgery is just as effective at preventing cancer from coming back, while avoiding an unnecessary second operation.
