First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether doing a second surgery soon after the first helps manage high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. 70 patients who had an initial tumor removal got an early second look procedure. The goal was to see if any cancer remained and what factors affected that. Results could guide better treatment decisions.
