Study summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of using a urine biomarker test to guide the decision-making process regarding the necessity of reTURBT in NMIBC patients. The main question aims to answer whether patients with negative urine biomarker tests can safely avoid reTURBT without compromising recurrence-free survival. Participants who have completed the initial TURBT and tested negative for the urine biomarker will be enrolled in the study. They will then be randomized 1:2 into two groups:Group A: Participants will not receive reTURBT and Group B: Participants will undergo reTURBT. Researchers will compare the RFS rates between Group A (no reTURBT) and Group B (reTURBT) to determine if the urine biomarker test can safely spare patients from unnecessary reTURBT.

* Patients who have tested negative for urine biomarkers after the initial TURBT and before the second TURBT;
* Age ≥ 18 years;
* Willingness to provide personal basic clinical information, as well as pathology and subsequent recurrence monitoring results;
* Willingness to sign informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with other non-urothelial malignant tumors (including prostate cancer and renal cell carcinoma);

* Patients unable to provide written informed consent.
Primary outcome measure(s)
2-year RFS rate — from initial TURBT to the first confirmed recurrence within 2 years the proportion of participants experiencing a recurrence during follow-up within 2 years
