Surveillance of NMIBC with flexible BLC could detect more suspicious lesions and consequently more tumour recurrences compared to flexible WLC, with a increase in the rate of false positives leading to overtreatment. A total of 100 and 50 flexible BLC procedures would need to be performed to find on additional tumor and CIS recurences, respectively. A risk-stratified strategy for patient selection could be considered when using flexible BLC for the surveillance of NMIBC patients.
