What if the tumour isn’t fully removed or comes back — can I have another TURBT?

Yes. Many people have more than one TURBT, especially if the tumour is large, high-risk, or returns over time. Repeat TURBT can help ensure all cancerous tissue is removed and provides important staging information. More invasive surgery or bladder removal is only considered if the cancer becomes muscle invasive, or if repeated treatments aren’t controlling the disease. Your urologist will guide you through the safest and most effective options based on your individual results.
