Risk Stratification in Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer in the Era of Expanding Therapeutic Options: Are Current Classifications Still Adequate?

Bladder cancer care is shifting toward continuous reassessment rather than fixed treatment plans, better catching changes over time.

This PubMed record reports: Current classifications remain necessary but insufficient alone; treatment selection increasingly requires a dynamic, multi-axial framework reassessed at defined checkpoints rather than fixed at diagnosis. The finding is retained for rapid triage and requires downstream evidence review before clinical interpretation.
