Can you explain for an idiot like me why a T1 tumor already classifies as high risk? I would have guessed a T1N0M0 in the bladder being not a big problem (as detected).
In bladder cancer you need a cystectomy the moment you are T2 which is what we want to avoid. Having a T1 has been shown to be a risk factor for progressing to T2 in the future even with adequate endoscopic resection

Ah, thanks a lot. Still interesting, that they basically list T1 and T3 as either or points (basically in every press release on that topic).
