Fachgebiet: Urology
Zielpublikum: Specialists (CME: basic, intermediate), Residents (senior)
Letzte Aktualisierung: May 2024
Hintergrund:
  • Patients with NMIBC and MIBC need surveillance following therapy due to the risk of recurrence and progression
  • Surveillance protocols should be tailored to the risk of recurrence and progression, and depend on prior therapeutic interventions

NMIBC risk stratification according to the EAU and NCCN guidelines

*Clinical risk factors: age >70; multiple papillary tumours, tumour diameter >3 cm; LG: low grade; HG: high grade
