Risk Groups
FIG. 4: This Figure shows the low-risk group according to current AUA[1] and EAU[2] guidelines, which in both is basically low-grade Ta lesions that are solitary and small. High-risk means high risk for recurrence and for progression, and these are basically those patients with T1 tumors, high-grade tumors, and carcinoma in situ. The next Figure will highlight some of the small differences between the AUA and the EAU definitions.
