The clinical significance of a second transurethral resection for T1 high-grade bladder cancer: Results of a prospective study.

CONCLUSIONS: Initial TURBT does not seem to be enough to control T1 high-grade bladder cancer. Therefore, a routine second TURBT procedure should be recommended in patients with T1 high-grade bladder cancer to accomplish adequate tumor resection and to identify patients who may need to undergo prompt cystectomy.
