Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Gross hematuria at the time of TURB. (Note: Gross hematuria is defined as a heavy bladder bleeding resulting in marked amounts of blood in the urine, which may interfere with cystoscopy); 2. Participation in other clinical studies with investigational drugs either concurrently or within the last 30 days; 3. Pregnant (all women of child-bearing potential must document a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at screening and use the contraceptive pill or intrauterine device (IUD) during the treatments and for at least one month thereafter); 4.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the recurrence rate at 1 year following Narrow Band Imaging and TURB (Arm A) with White Light Trans Urethral Resection of Bladder cancer (TURB) (Arm B) in patients with non muscle invasive (NMIBC Ta/T1) bladder cancer. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To assess the recurrence of tumour at first follow up (3 months) after Narrow Band Imaging and TURB or White Light TURB in patients with NMIBC; 2. To assess the peri-operative morbidity (30 days) of TURB between NBI and WL resection by using the Clavien score; 3. To define risk factors for the development of peri-operative morbidity after instrumental treatment; 4. To assess the recurrence rate related to the surgeon performing the procedure; 5. To assess the recurrence rate related to additional treatment following TURB. | — |
