Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the recurrence and progression risk in two types of bladder cancer: Papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (PUNLMP) and stage TaG1 non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), questioning existing WHO classification systems due to similar risk patterns.
- - Researchers analyzed data from a national database, finding that 21% of PUNLMP patients had local recurrence after five years compared to 42% for TaG1, while progression rates were significantly lower for PUNLMP.
- - The study concludes that the differences in recurrence risk between these two types suggest they should not be considered the same low-risk group, challenging recent ideas about simplifying management strategies for NMIBC.
