Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Recurrence: defined as occurrence of histologically confirmed urothelial cancer recurrence of any stage or grade. Time for recurrence will be calculated from randomization date to date of biopsy/TUR-BT confirming recurrence.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression: defined as occurrence of biopsy/TUR-BT confirmed urothelial cancer with higher T-category as follows: Time for progression is calculated from randomization to the date of biopsy/TUR-BT/radiological evidence of metastasis confirming progression
