Intermediate risk NMI: Follow-up

FIG. 35:  The NICE recommends offering patients with intermediate-risk bladder cancer follow-up at 3, 9, and 18 months, and then once a year thereafter.[27]  They can be considered for discharge after 5 years, especially if they have competing mortality and morbidity, and because it is becoming less likely to offer radical treatment if they experience deterioration.
