A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Study Comparing the Necessity of a Second Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor in High-risk Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer Patients With Negative Urine Biomarker After Initial Transurethral Resection
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of using a urine biomarker test to guide the decision-making process regarding the necessity of reTURBT in NMIBC patients. The main question aims to answer whether patients with negative urine biomarker tests can safely avoid reTURBT without compromising recurrence-free survival. Participants who have completed the initial TURBT and tested negative for the urine biomarker will be enrolled in the study. They will then be randomized 1:2 into two groups:Group A: Participants will not receive reTURBT and Group B: Participants will undergo reTURBT. Researchers will compare the RFS rates between Group A (no reTURBT) and Group B (reTURBT) to determine if the urine biomarker test can safely spare patients from unnecessary reTURBT.
• Patients with NMIBC who have undergone initial TURBT and are scheduled for reTURBT surgery as recommended by guidelines or chosen by their physicians;
• Patients who have tested negative for urine biomarkers after the initial TURBT and before the second TURBT;
• Age ≥ 18 years;
• Willingness to provide personal basic clinical information, as well as pathology and subsequent recurrence monitoring results;
• Willingness to sign informed consent.
