“…As a consequence of the COVID‐19 pandemic, 10.9% of patients had site‐declared delay to TURBT/bladder biopsy; 7.4% did not undergo intravesical therapy or had early discontinuation of this; 9.2% did not undergo early repeat resection for high‐risk disease; and 18.3% had a delay to cystoscopic follow‐up surveillance. Conclusions This prospective study indicates that there were widespread deviations in usual care for NMIBC during the pandemic and that 12‐month oncological outcomes appear to be impaired compared to published pre‐pandemic outcomes.…”
