We evaluated oncological outcomes of patients deemed eligible for active surveillance (AS) according to IBCG criteria that underwent TURBT. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed data of 280 LR and IR NMIBCs according to the international bladder cancer group (IBCG) definition treated with TURBT and subsequent Mitomycin C (MMC) or BCG intravesical instillation from 2010 to 2022 at a tertiary referral center. Active surveillance criteria were defined as follows: ≤5 lesions, no gross hematuria, negative urinary cytology, and size ≤1 cm. We divided patients according to additional IBCG risk factors: highly recurrent tumor (>1/year), multifocality (>1 lesion), prior intravesical treatment failure, early recurrence (≥1 within 1 year). Stratification was defined as follows: <2 and ≥2 risk factors. A Kaplan Meier curve analysis depicted the 48 months recurrence free survival (RFS). To assess whether increasing risk factors may increase the risk of recurrence, we performed a Multivariable Cox regression analysis (MVA) adjusted for adequate intravesical treatment. RESULTS: A total of 137 patients were selected according to inclusion criteria. Median age was 70 years (IQR 62-76). During a median follow-up of 45(IQR 28-56) months, 48 (35%) patients recurred and 4 (3%) patients experienced progression. Ta tumors were 96% (n=131) and 112(82%) patients had LG/G2 tumors. Four-year RFS rates were 90% and 60% for patients harboring <2 and ≥2 risk factors, respectively (Figure 1-p=0.001). Patients experiencing progression all had at least 2 risk factors. At a landmark time point of 48 months follow up, having ≥2 risk factors was an independent predictor of recurrence HR 3.42, 95%CI 1.15-8.32, p=0.028. CONCLUSIONS: Active Surveillance is a feasible strategy for IBCG-LR and -IR patients with negative cytology, less than 5 lesions, no gross hematuria and size ≤1 cm. Because of the higher rate of recurrence and progression, careful assessment is needed in patients with ≥2 risk IBCG factors during active surveillance protocols enrollment.
