The initial treatment for NMIBC is a surgical procedure called trans urethral resection of the bladder (TURBT), The tumour is removed through the urethra and tissue samples are taken to find out the type of cancer it is and what treatment is needed #bladdercancerawarenessmonth22

Muscle invasive means that the tumour has grown into or through the muscle of the bladder. This isn’t as common and is more difficult to treat #bladdercancerawarenessmonth22

Non-muscle invasive means that the tumour has not grown into the muscle of the bladder. This is the most common type of bladder cancer and is usually easier to treat. #bladdercancerawarenessmonth22
