I recently had a cystoscopy performed 3 months after the removal of a low grade non muscle invasive tumour. This cystoscopy has found that a new tumour has appeared and also apparently some necrosis on the site of the original tumour. What is the significance of the necrosis is it something I should be particularly worried about.

  • I don't think so, I had that. I think it's just some dead tissue left behind after the first TURBT. My bladder was more comfortable after that was removed. It's the new tumour that of more concern, to know what stage & grade it is. Hope all well for you.

  • Hi  . Sorry to hear you have a new tumour, but good to know they have found it and will deal with it. I had a similar report of necrosis on the site of a previous TURBT. I was told it was just dead tissue, but he booked me in to scrape it away and make sure nothing sinister was underneath, but all turned out ok. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.
