Early re-resection for T1 transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder-A study of current practice in the South West of England

Primary transurethral resection remains an area for improvement in contemporary practice. Early re-resection should be performed in patients with newly diagnosed T1 bladder cancer unless precluded by co-morbidity to ensure complete resection, accurate staging and facilitate risk stratification. Selective approaches to re-resection risk delayed treatment of significant residual disease.
