TURT was performed at my father's (70 years old). Today I picked up his-pat. Here is the result: "Macroscopic description - fine gray chips. Pathomorphological diagnosis: Carcinoma urotheliale LG papillare Sine signis invasionis". What are the next steps? Are there any chances of the tumor being "killed"? Is it necessary to administer a BCG infusion or some kind of cytostatics?
From the description given, it can be concluded that the change is superficial and has a relatively small tendency to infiltrate. However, I cannot comment on the use of any ingots. It depends on several factors that are not mentioned in the question. First of all - is it primary or recurrent, was it singular or multiple? What area was it covered? If it was a single minor primary lesion, intravesical enemas are not absolutely necessary. The use of enemas also has its side effects, which should also be taken into account. Regardless of whether or not the infusions are used, systematic observation is necessary to detect possible recurrence of a bladder tumor.
