Prospective multicenter study reveals distinct tumor vascular and morphological patterns predict bladder cancer grade and invasion, suggesting enhanced diagnostic utility for narrow-band cystoscopy.

Key Points

To evaluate the correlation between tumor morphological and vascular characteristics visualized through narrow-band imaging and the presence, grade, and stage of bladder cancer.
Prospectively compiled clinical and narrow-band imaging cystoscopy data from bladder cancer patients across multiple centers between November 2021 and March 2023.
Identified independent predictors of tumor grade, stage, and presence using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.
Cauliflower-like morphology, dotted vessels, and circumferential vessels were identified as independent risk factors for the presence of bladder cancer.
Reticular vascular patterns independently predicted high-grade bladder cancer, while thick branching vessels and a wide tumor base independently predicted lamina propria invasion.
Primary diagnosis, location adjacent to the left ureteral orifice, and obscure tumor boundaries served as independent risk factors for muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
