What is the appropriate timing of CRT after TURBT for bladder preservation in the treatment of bladder cancer?
Is there a length of time that would be considered too long between TURBT and CRT? At what time point would you recommend another cystoscopy to evaluate for interval disease recurrence?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution
Our typical timeframe is 3-6 weeks. If it has been >8 weeks, we would recommend at least an office cystoscopy to confirm no gross residual/recurrent disease. We typically perform 2 TURBTs (one from referring and one at our institution) prior to CRT.
