Abstract

Bladder cancer is the most prevalent tumor of the urinary tract, ranking seventh in males and seventeenth in women. The gold standard for the definitive diagnosis and initial treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is transurethral resection (TUR) of the bladder tumor. The ability to accurately detect disease, typically in the presence of hematuria as well as to detect early recurrent tumors in patients with a history of NMIBC, is critical to the successful treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Unfortunately, the current biomarker landscape for NMIBC is still evolving. Cystoscopy remains the gold standard, but it can still miss 10% of tumors. As a result, physicians frequently employ additional diagnostic tools to aid in the diagnosis of bladder cancer. The efficacy of transurethral bipolar plasma needle electrodes and ring electrodes in the treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer was compared and analyzed in this study. During our study, 100 patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer admitted to our hospital between June 2019 and June 2020 were randomly assigned to a control group and an observation group, with 50 cases in each group. The observation group was given a bipolar plasma needle electrode, while the control group was given a bipolar plasma ring. Patients continued to receive bladder irrigation chemotherapy as well as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment as part of our treatment plan, while the control group received only bladder irrigation chemotherapy. Clinical factors such as operational blood loss, catheter indention time, length of hospital stay, and others were compared between the two groups. When the risk grades in the two groups were compared, the observation group had fewer medium- and high-risk grades than the control group, but the control group had more low-risk grades, with statistical significance (P < 0.05).
