Brief Summary
Residual tumors after transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) range from 17-70%, and floating tumor cells from traditional segmental resection may lead to recurrence if they re-implant in the bladder wall. Immediate systemic chemotherapy post-surgery aims to eliminate microlesions promptly and minimize recurrence risk, yet its safety and efficacy require further exploration. This prospective, single-arm study delves into evaluating the efficacy and safety of immediate postoperative systemic chemotherapy in patients with suspected high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
One-year recurrence-free survival rate
The percentage of patients who remain cancer-free for one year after treatment.
About two years after the first immediate chemotherapy
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Pathological downstaging rate
About 2-6 weeks after the first immediate chemotherapy
The incidence of grade ≥ 3 adverse events(AEs)
About two years after the first immediate chemotherapy
UroCAD.MRD Index
TURBT perioperative period, about 15 days
Study Arms (1)
Immediate GC chemotherapy infusion
EXPERIMENTALFor enrolled patients receiving immediate cisplatin/gemcitabine chemotherapy via intravenous infusion within 24 hours post transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), fluid samples were collected before and after TURBT, as well as post-chemotherapy, for UroCAD testing to assess chromosomal instability status and evaluate postoperative tumor residual changes. Subsequently, following EAU guidelines, patients were administered 1 year of intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) induction and maintenance therapy, with regular imaging studies and cystoscopic examinations for follow-up to assess the patients' pathological response status.
Interventions
Systemic chemotherapy with cisplatin/gemcitabine intravenous infusion within 24 hours after TURBT
