Prostatic urethra recurrence after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) for non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC)

Abstract

Abstract Urinary bladder cancer is frequently multifocal and has a high incidence of recurrence. Although the prostatic urethra is a frequent site of tumor relapse in patients with non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer treated with TURBT, such tumors are often underdiagnosed. Here we present two cases having urethral recurrence after TURBT.
