En-bloc resection of bladder tumors (ERBT) for pathological staging: the value of lateral margins analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: ERBT may improve the pathological report of bladder tumor. There was a trend toward increased rate of recurrence in patients with dysplasia or malignancy in their lateral margins; however, this was not statistically significant on multivariate analysis. Further studies with larger sample sizes are required to assess the value of lateral margin analysis. PMID: 32003203 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
