Abstract

High-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancers (HRNMIBC), including TaG3, T1G2, T1G3, and/or Tis, carry an increased risk of progression, recurrence, and even death. The commonly used therapeutic approaches are TURBT+BCG or radical cystectomy (RC). So far, there have been no randomized clinical trials comparing the efficacy of these two different modalities. However, there continue to be some concerns regarding the long-term outcomes of the bladder preserving approach. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to compare the relative risk (RR) of cancer-specific and all-cause death rates between TURBT+BCG and RC in HRNMIBC.
