Objective To compare diagnostic delay and initial tumor characteristics between bladder cancer cases presenting with gross hematuria and those with non-gross findings (microhematuria, irritative symptoms, or incidental imaging). Materials and Methods Patients who underwent initial TURBT at a single center between 2021–2024 were classified as gross hematuria (n=105) or non-gross hematuria (n=34). Demographics (age, sex, BMI), presentation context (first admission site, ICD/diagnosis), time from examination to cystoscopy (months), tumor size, and pathology (TNM stage [Ta/T1], grade [high/low]) were compared. Continuous variables were summarized as median [IQR] and analyzed using Mann–Whitney U; categorical variables with Chi-square or Fisher’s test
