Abstract

We evaluated the potential benefit of a second transurethral resection in patients with newly diagnosed pT1 transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Between January 2001 and May 2003, 80 patients with stage T1 bladder cancer were included in this protocol in which all patients prospectively received second TUR within 2 to 6 weeks following the initial resection. Patients with incomplete resections were excluded from study. The pathological findings of the second TUR were reviewed. Of the 80 patients who underwent second resection, 18 (22.5%) had macroscopic tumors before resection. However, with the addition of microscopic tumors, overall residual disease was determined in 27 (33.8%) patients. Of the 27 patients 7 had pTa, 14 had pT1, 3 had pT1+pTis and 3 had pT2 disease. Residual cancers were detected in 5.8%, 38.2% and 62.5% in G1, G2 and G3 tumors, respectively. The risk of residual tumor directly correlated with the grade of the initial tumor (p = 0.009). Although second TUR dramatically changed the treatment strategy in a small percentage of cases, we strongly recommend performing second TUR in all cases of primary pT1 disease, especially in high grade cases.
