METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 370 patients with primary high-risk NMIBC who underwent TURBT from November 1993 to April 2019. The patients were divided into two groups: patients treated with intravesical instillation of BCG without maintenance therapy (BCG group) and intensive intravesical instillation of low-dose (20 mg) THP for six times within 10 days after TURBT (THP group) (Figure 1A). Safety was assessed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. Background-adjusted multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the effect of intensive intravesical instillation of low-dose THP on oncological outcomes, including intravesical recurrence-free survival (RFS), upper urinary tract RFS, muscle-invasive bladder cancer-free survival, metastasis-free survival, cancer-specific survival, and overall survival. RESULTS: Of the 370 patients with primary high-risk NMIBC, 180 (49%) and 190 (51%) were stratified into the BCG and THP groups, respectively. The incidence rate of adverse events of any grade in the BCG group was significantly higher than that in the THP group (Figure 1B). In the background-adjusted multivariate analyses, no significant differences were observed in oncological outcomes between the BCG and THP groups (Table 1). CONCLUSIONS: Intensive intravesical instillation of low-dose THP for six times may be one of the treatment options in view of safety and efficacy after TURBT in patients with primary high-risk NMIBC.
