Abstract

Background: High-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) progressing to muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is associated with adverse tumour biology. It is unclear, however, whether outcome of NMIBC progressing to MIBC is adverse compared to primary MIBC and whether NMIBC of higher risk of progression to MIBC is adverse compared to NMIBC of lower risk. Objective: Our objective was to ...
