Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the short-term efficacy, safety and factors affecting recurrence of intermediate-risk and high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) treated with intravesical instillation of domestic Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) infusion.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. We collected the data of 163 patients with NMIBC treated with domestic BCG after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) from October 2016 to October 2020 in the Department of Urology, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. There were 140 males and 23 females, the age was(67.3±10.3) years old. 23 cases had only been received BCG and 140 cases received other chemotherapy drugs before. The induction scheme of instillation was started after the TURBT at once a week for 6 consecutive weeks, continue instillation at every two weeks for 3 doses, then maintenance instillation once a month for 10 consecutive times, for a total of 19 instillations. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate recurrence-free survival. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze factors and stepwise regression (backward method) was employed to identify independent risk factors for recurrence after BCG instillation. The incidence of adverse reactions was recorded. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation( ± s), measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and count data were expressed as frequency and percentage(%). Results:A total of 23 cases experienced recurrence within the 13-month of instillation, of which 7 cases were found to have progressed by pathological biopsy, and the cumulative recurrence-free rate was 85.9%. The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that the history of re-TURBT ( P=0.010) was an independent predictor for recurrence after BCG intravesical instillation. Adverse events occurred in 110 cases. The main symptoms of the 65 cases were urgency of urination, pollakiuria and dysuria with urinary irritation, urinary tract infection in 15 cases, hematuria in 10 cases, and other symptoms in 20 cases. Instillation was terminated in 7 cases due to side effects, no serious adverse events such as spread of tuberculous bacteria were observed in the cases. Conclusions:Patients with NMIBC treated with intravesical instillation of domestic BCG have significant short-term efficacy, while patients who have previously received re-TURBT is an independent predictor for recurrence. The domestic BCG have the characteristic of slight side effect, good efficacy and safety.
