On Friday 20 June at 14:00, Vanaja Kumarasegaram defends her PhD dissertation entitled “Exploring the Management of Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer - From Enhanced Detection to Outpatient Laser Treatment”.
Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is a common form of bladder cancer that often returns after treatment. This means many patients, most of whom are elderly, must undergo repeated surgical procedures under general anaesthesia, which carries significant risks. Sometimes, small tumors may be left behind after surgery, contributing to early recurrences. This highlights the need for better diagnostic tools and less invasive treatment options.
Improving the detection of tumors during bladder surgery and assessing whether a gentler, outpatient laser treatment can be a safe alternative to repeated operations is explored in this PhD project.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in Auditorium C 114-101, Main entrance C, Aarhus University Hospital. Please see the press release for more information.
