    Redefining the management of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer in one swoop with en bloc resection over standard transurethral resection

    While the standard piecemeal transurethral resection of bladder tumor (SR) has been the conventional surgical procedure for NMIBC, oncological control remains subpar, prompting the development of alternative techniques such as en bloc transurethral resection of bladder tumor (ERBT). To examine the impact of ERBT on the prognosis of NMIBC, Professor Teoh, Yuen-Chun Jeremy and his team conducted a local phase 3 randomized controlled trial, EB-StaR, that compared the 1-year recurrence rate of NMIBC with ERBT to SR.4In an interview with Omnihealth Practice, Prof. Teoh discussed the implications of the results and the future of ERBT implementation
