Clinical and pathological predictors of persistent T1 HG at second resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

T1 high-grade (HG) non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has a significant risk of recurrence and progression, and the European Association of Urology recommends a second transurethral resection of the bladder (ReTUR). Stage at ReTUR has been shown to be a reliable predictor of survival, therefore, we sought to assess clinical and pathological predictors associated with the persistence of T1 at ReTUR in our retrospective multicentric cohort.

Methods

This is a retrospective multicentric study of T1 HG patients at transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) who underwent subsequent ReTUR. All histological samples were sub-classified according to Rete Oncologica Lombarda (ROL) T1 sub-staging system.

Results

One hundred and sixty-six patients were enroll
