Q) What is the most suitable treatment option for non muscle-invasive bladder cancer with the risk of recurrences?
A)Cystectomy
B)Intravesical chemotherapy
C)Transurethral resection and adjuvant intravesical chemotherapy
D)Palliative therapy
Answer-C(Schwartz-1654)
Patients with non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (confined to the bladder mucosa or submucosa) can be managed with transurethral resection alone and adjuvant intravesical (instilled into the bladder) chemotherapy/immunotherapy.
The use of these intravesical agents is critical since patients with non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer are at risk for tumour recurrence and progression.
