Possible treatments

Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumour (TURBT)

Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, also called superficial bladder cancer, is a type of cancer that stays in the bladder’s lining and hasn’t spread deeper into the bladder wall.

If you have non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, your doctor will recommend a procedure called Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumours (TURBT) to remove the cancer.
