Complications and oncologic outcome in bladder cancer patients receiving radical cystectomy after intravesical instillation treatment
To our knowledge, this is the first matched pair analysis that evaluates the impact of intravesical treatment on postoperative complications for patients with NMIBC receiving RC. Intravesical treatment with BCG or mitomycin did not deteriorate postoperative complications in NMIBC patients after RC, irrespective of the final histopathology stage. Oncologic outcomes were similar in both groups.
