Özet
Although the role of second transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB) is well established in high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, to the best of our knowledge, there is no study regarding the role of a second transurethral resection (TUR) after a complete first TURB in multimodal therapy (MMT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of a second TUR on disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS) rates in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients who were treated with MMT.
