In multivariable analysis, mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (odds ratio [OR], 9.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.40–70.96; p = 0.022) and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) (OR, 7.92; 95% CI, 1.22–51.51; p = 0.030) were significant factors associated with the recurrence of bladder tumour within 1 year. Here, TERT is linked to urinary bladder neoplasm.
