The aim of the present review was to compare state‐of‐the‐art care and future perspectives for the detection and treatment of non‐muscle‐invasive transitional cell carcinoma ( TCC ) of the bladder. We provide a summary of the third expert meeting on ‘Optimising the management of non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer, organized by the E uropean A ssociation of U rology Section for U ro‐ T echnology ( ESUT ) in collaboration with the S ection for U ro‐ O ncology ( ESOU ), including a systematic literature review. The article includes a detailed discussion on the current and future perspectives for TCC , including photodynamic diagnosis, optical coherence tomography, narrow band imaging, the S torz P rofessional I mage E nhancement system, magnification and high definition techniques. We also provide a detailed discussion of future surgical treatment options, including en bloc resection and tumour enucleation. Intensive research has been conducted to improve tumour detection and there are promising future perspectives, that require proven clinical efficacy. En bloc resection of bladder tumours may be advantageous, but is currently considered to be experimental.
