High-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) carries a substantial risk of residual disease after initial transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Current guidelines recommend a second TURBT (re-TURBT) within 2-6 weeks for patients with stage T1 disease to remove residual tumor, confirm staging, and obtain additional pathological information. However, the actual survival benefit of routine re-TURBT for all high-risk patients remains debated, and the procedure may pose surgical risks, increase healthcare costs, and impact patient quality of life.
Urine tumor DNA (utDNA) and urine tumor RNA (utRNA) are molecular biomarkers detectable through non-invasive "liquid biopsy" methods. In urothelial carcinoma, tumor-derived nucleic acids can be shed into urine, where they can be detected with high sensitivity and specificity. These biomarkers may help identify patients most likely to harbor residual disease after initial TURBT, and thus most likely to benefit from re-TURBT.
This prospective, open-label, observational, single-center study aims to evaluate the clinical value of utDNA/utRNA testing in guiding re-TURBT for patients with high-risk NMIBC. The study will assess whether molecular urine testing can improve patient selection for re-TURBT, potentially reducing unnecessary procedures while maintaining oncological safety.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Study group | All enrolled patients will undergo urine tumor DNA (utDNA) and urine tumor RNA (utRNA) testing between 2-6 weeks after the initial transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and prior to the second TURBT (re-TURBT). The re-TURBT procedure will include deep resection at the site of the original tumor base, complete resection of tumor margins and any suspicious areas, as well as random bladder biopsies as indicated. The results of utDNA/utRNA testing will be compared with pathological findings from the re-TURBT specimens to evaluate the diagnostic value of molecular urine testing in detecting residual disease. |
