what kind of time frame do you usually have before surgery is necessary if the pathologist has determined that you have high grade TCC invasion of the muscle of the bladder and if one does nothing how long do you have before it is terminal?

Can you please explain the difference between Transurethral resection (TUR) and Fulguration of the bladder cancer tumor? What factors does the physician consider when deciding between the two different procedures?
