The aim of the current study was to analyze long term outcomes of maintenance regimen of repeated MMC instillations in LR and IR patients. METHODS: We identified 228 patients diagnosed with NMBIC after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) that underwent MMC instillations between 2013 and 2022 at a tertiary referral center. All patients felt within the criteria for LR or IR class according to European Association of Urology Guidelines. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was analyzed and compared with Cox-derived univariate Kaplan-Meier (KM). A Multivariable Cox-regression analyses (MVA) assessed the impact of MMC maintenance regimen on RFS (covariates: T stage, grade, multifocality, early instillation). Subgroup analysis evaluated the effect of MMC instillations number on RFS in patients who received maintenance. RESULTS: Overall, 89 (39%) and 139 (61%) patients were diagnosed with LR and IR NMIBC, respectively. Low grade lesions were found in 88% (n=200) of cases. Pathological Ta tumors were 93% (n=211) and multifocality was present in 107 cases (47%). Median age at diagnosis and follow-up time were 71 (IQR 62-77) and 44 months (IQR 28-63), respectively. Early instillation was performed in only 21 patients (9.2%). Recurrence occurred in 57 patients (25%). All patients underwent MMC induction with 89% rate of 6-instillations cycle completion; 118 patients (51%) underwent maintenance instillations with a median number of instillations equal to 9.5 (6-11). Overall, RFS at 5 years follow-up was 69.6% [62.7, 77.2]. Patients who did or did not receive MMC maintenance had a 5-years RFS of 73.4% vs 65.2%. At MVA, MMC maintenance and number of instillations did not significantly correlate with a better RFS. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that MMC maintenance instillations do not reduce the risk of recurrence in LR and IR NIMBC patients who received MMC induction.
