Effect of Complete Transurethral Resection on Oncologic Outcomes After Radiation Therapy for Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer
Abstract
PURPOSE: To compare the oncologic outcomes of patients with nonmetastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) undergoing complete versus incomplete transurethral tumor resection (TURBT) before radiation therapy.
