How often will I need follow-up cystoscopies after TURBT?

Most people need regular cystoscopies (examination of the bladder using a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached) after TURBT because bladder cancer can return, even after successful treatment. The frequency depends on the tumour’s risk category, but many patients are seen every 3 months at first, with the interval gradually increasing if no further tumours appear. Your urologist will tailor your follow-up plan to your individual risk.
