ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Pathologic re-review of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) specimen is a common practice at our tertiary care center, but its impact on disease risk stratification remains unknown. We sought to determine how pathologic re-review of specimen initially read at an outside institution changed grade, clinical T (cT) stage, and AUA non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) risk stratification. METHODS AND MATERIALS The laboratory information system was searched for patients who underwent TURBT from 2021 to 2022, yielding 561 records. 173 patients met inclusion criteria 113 withRESULTS:
ForCONCLUSIONS:
Re-review of TURBT pathology by a dedicated GU pathologist led to change in AUA NMIBC risk stratification in over one-fifth of patients, with potential for changing management.
