Bladder cancer prospective cohort study on high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer after photodynamic diagnosis-assisted transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (BRIGHT study).

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Transurethral resection of bladder tumor with photodynamic diagnosis has been reported to result in lower residual tumor and intravesical recurrence rates in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of photodynamic diagnosis-transurethral resection of bladder tumor combined with oral 5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride for high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Methods

High-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients with an initial photodynamic diagnosis-transurethral resection of bladder tumor (photodynamic diagnosis group) were prospectively registered between 2018 to 2020. High-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer cases with a history of initial white-light transurethral resection of bladder tumor (white-light grou
