Effect of Tumor Base Size in Bladder Cancer

Bladder Cancer

Investigators aim to investigate the effect of the size of the base of the tumor in contact with the bladder mucosa on recurrence and progression in non-muscle invasive bladder tumors.

Between March 2021 and September 2023, 130 patients who applied to our clinic with complaints of hematuria, dysuria, and suprapubic pain, and who were diagnosed with bladder tumor by imaging methods and underwent TUR-MT were included in the study. The groups were compared in terms of age, gender, smoking, ASA, comorbidities, BMI and the number of tumors, size, stage as intraoperative and postoperative data. Patients with tumor base size \<2 cm were classified as Group 1, while with tumor base size ≥2 cm were classified as Group 2. Kaplan Meier survival analysis without recurrence and without progression were performed after comparing the groups in terms of recurrence and progression.
