  • low grade appearance (grade 1 or grade 2)
  • noninvasive appearance (Ta)

Observation

Immediate Surgery

Arm Description

Patients will not undergo immediate surgery. These patients will undergo surveillance cystoscopy and urinary cytology every 3 months for 12 months. Surgery will commence after 12 months of observation or sooner if cystoscopic evidence of disease progression or patient desire.

Patients will undergo immediate surgery. These patients will undergo surveillance cystoscopy and urinary cytology every 3 months for 12 months. Repeated surgery will be offered for additional recurrences.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Event-Free Survival
An event is a complication of any kind, including bleeding requiring blood transfusion, bladder perforation, urinary tract infection, readmission to the hospital, and progression of disease.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Proportion of patients with disease progression (either stage or grade)
proportion of patients with disease progression (either stage or grade)
Patient-reported Costs
out of pocket medical costs
Self-reported patient anxiety measured using the EORTC QLQ-NMIBC24
Measured using the EORTC QLQ-NMIBC24, which is a 24-item questionnaire for patients with superficial bladder cancer. This will be assessed at baseline and every 3 months during the study.
