Who is a good candidate for it?

Good candidates are patients diagnosed with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (stages Ta, T1, or CIS) on cystoscopy or imaging. The procedure is also used for diagnostic biopsy when cancer is suspected. Contraindications include acute urinary tract infection, severe bleeding disorders, or inability to tolerate anesthesia. Patients with muscle-invasive disease typically require more extensive surgery rather than TURBT alone.
