Abstract
While photodynamic diagnosis during transurethral resection of bladder tumor seems warranted only in seemingly high-risk cases, early intravesical instillation of chemotherapy is warranted in all low-risk cases. According to the latest randomized controlled trial, data may make sense also in intermediate- and high-risk cases.
