Variability in adherence to guidelines based management of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer among Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO) members.
CONCLUSION: Adherence to guidelines across risk-categories was higher for intermediate- and high-risk patients. Decreased adherence observed for low-risk patients resulted in higher than recommended use of cytology, imaging, and surveillance cystoscopy. These results identify addressable gaps and provide impetus for targeted interventions to support high-value care, especially for low-risk patients.
