Abstract Introduction Over 1,500 bladder cancers were diagnosed among US Veterans in 2010, the majority of which were non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Little is known about NMIBC treatment within the Veterans Health Administration. The objective of the study was to assess the quality of care for Veterans with newly-diagnosed NMIBC within Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 02. Materials and Methods We used ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes to identify patients with newly-diagnosed bladder cancer from 1/2016–8/2017. We risk-stratified the patients into low, intermediate, and high-risk based on the 2016 American Urological Association Guidelines on NMIBC. Our primary objectives were percentages of transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBTs) with detrusor, repeat TURBT in high-risk and T1 disease, high-risk NMIBC treated with induction intravesical therapy (IVT), and responders treated with maintenance IVT. We performed logistic regression for association between distance to diagnosing hospital and receipt of induction IVT in high-risk patients. Results There were 121 newly-diagnosed NMIBC patients; 16% low-risk, 28% intermediate-risk, and 56% high-risk. Detrusor was present in 80% of all initial TURBTs and 84% of high-risk patients. Repeat TURBT was performed in 56% of high-risk NMIBC and 60% of T1. Induction IVT was given to 66% of high-risk patients and maintenance IVT was given to 59% of responders. On multivariate logistic regression, distance to medical center was not associated with receipt of induction IVT (OR = 0.99, 95% CI [0.97,1.01], p = 0.52). Conclusions We observed high rates of sampling of detrusor in the first TURBT specimen, utilization of repeat TURBT, and administration of induction and maintenance intravesical BCG for high-risk patients among a regional cohort of US Veterans with NMIBC. While not a comparative study, our findings suggest high quality NMIBC care in VA VISN 02.

The treatment for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is transurethral resection of bladder cancer followed by intravesical chemotherapy or BCG. There have been various advancements in low risk, intermediate risk, high risk, and BCG failure cases of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. There has been increased research on hyperthermia and intravesical chemotherapy, new agents like apaziquone, use of gemcitabine in low-risk cases, and combination chemotherapy in cases of BCG failure. Combining docetaxel and gemcitabine has taken a significant stage because of BCG shortage in some parts of the world. This chapter will discuss the latest advancements in intravesical chemotherapy in low, intermediate, and high-risk patients.

AbstractReliable factors predicting the disease course of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with carcinoma in situ (CIS) are unavailable. Molecular subtypes have potential for prognostic stratification of muscle-invasive bladder cancer, while their value for CIS patients is unknown. Here, the prognostic impact of both clinico-pathological parameters, including CIS focality, and immunohistochemistry-based surrogate subtypes was analyzed in a cohort of high-risk NMIBC patients with CIS. In 128 high-risk NMIBC patients with CIS, luminal (KRT20, GATA3, ERBB2) and basal (KRT5/6, KRT14) surrogate markers as well as p53 were analyzed in 213–231 biopsies. To study inter-lesional heterogeneity of CIS, marker expression in independent CIS biopsies from different bladder localizations was analyzed. Clinico-pathological parameters and surrogate subtypes were correlated with recurrence-free (RFS), progression-free (PFS), cancer-specific (CSS), and overall survival (OS). Forty-six and 30% of CIS patients exhibited a luminal-like (KRT20-positive, KRT5/6-negative) and a null phenotype (KRT20-negative, KRT5/6-negative), respectively. A basal-like subtype (KRT20-negative, KRT5/6-positive) was not observed. A significant degree of inter-lesional CIS heterogeneity was noted, reflected by 23% of patients showing a mixed subtype. Neither CIS surrogate subtype nor CIS focality was associated with patient outcome. Patient age and smoking status were the only potentially independent prognostic factors predicting RFS, PFS, OS, and PFS, respectively. In conclusion, further clarification of heterogeneity of surrogate subtypes in HR NMIBC and their prognostic value is of importance with regard to potential implementation of molecular subtyping into clinical routine. The potential prognostic usefulness of patient age and smoking status for high-risk NMIBC patients with CIS needs further validation.
