New surgical technique could cut bladder cancer recurrence

NCT ID NCT05223491

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two surgical methods for removing non-muscle invasive bladder tumors. The new method removes the tumor in one piece, while the standard method removes it in fragments. Researchers want to see if the one-piece approach leads to better tumor removal and fewer recurrences. The trial includes 220 patients with tumors between 1 and 6 cm.

What this could lead to

If successful, this surgical technique could lower the chance of bladder cancer coming back and reduce the need for repeat surgeries.
