What is the treatment for superficial bladder tumours?
Most superficial bladder tumours are removed by a specialist with the aid of a cystoscope (described earlier). This is called ‘transurethral resection – TUR’ as the tumour is removed (resected) via a cystoscope which is passed up the urethra. It does not involve an operation to cut into the bladder. Thin instruments can be passed down a side-channel of the cystoscope to remove the tumour.
