Background: Many regimes of intravesical therapy have been tried in attempt to reduce the recurrence rate of non muscle invasive bladder cancer, these generally require frequent attendance for instillation. Multiple non-comparative studies have demonstrated the favourable outcomes of the immediate treatment by instillation of mitomycin C after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) in cases of non-muscle invasive Transitional Cell Carcinoma.Objective: To compare frequency of tumour recurrence in low risk transitional cell carcinoma of bladder between single dose Mitomycin C instillation and control group.Material and Methods: This study was conducted at urology departmentsaidu teaching hospital and Nawaz sharif kidney center swat. Study Design Quasi Experimental.Study Duration was (From: Feb 2018 to February 2019). Total 62 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected. Patient were divided between group A and B according to Non probability purposive sampling. TURBT was done in all patients. In those assigned to group A Mitomycin C 40mg was instilled through foleys catheter and clamped within 12 hrs of resection once haematuria has cleared. Mitomycin C was retained for 2 hrs and then foleys catheter was removed.Results: Mean age of patients in Group-A and in Group-B was 54.90±11.48 and 60.03±13.58 years respectively. In Group-A 1(3.2%) and in Group-B 9(29%) patients had recurrence after 3 months follow up time period. Recurrence rate of Group-B was significantly higher. i.e. (p-value=0.006).Conclusion: Results of this study showed the superiority of mitomycin C in patients with low risk non muscle invasive bladder cancer in terms of significantly lower recurrence rate as compared to that of control group. So, it can be said that single mitomycin C instillation significantly decrease recurrence in patients with low risk non muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Objective: To compare the recurrence rate of superficial transitional cell carcinoma of urinary bladder using intravesical BCG and Mitomycin-C. Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial. Setting: Urology Department, Teaching DHQ Hospital, Gujranwala. Period: November 2018, to Sep, 2019. Material & Methods: Was carried out on total 270 patients, admitted with suspicion of urothelial tumors. They were grouped in Group A and B, comprising 135 in each group. Group A received BCG and Group B received Mtiomycin-C intravesically following TUR-BT. Results: Out of 270 patients male to female ratio was 3:1. Age range of patients was between 30 to 70 years with mean of 50.0± 13.1 and 552.3 ± 12.9 years in Group A and B respectively. Recurrence was noted in 05.38% and 15.38% patients in Group A and B respectively. Regarding side effects pyrexia was associated with BCG in 27.40% patients which were self-limited in 26.66% cases however required anti-tuberculosis therapy for six months in 0.74%. Whereas only 06.67% patients receiving Mitomycin had pyrexia. Dysuria occurred in 74% and frequency in 68% patients who received BCG. Whereas Dysuria occurred in 20% and frequency in 36.29% patients who received Mitomycin-C. However genital skin rash was more common (08.14%) in Mitomycin group than BCG. Conclusion: Keeping in mind less recurrence rate and bearable toxicity, it is concluded that BCG is superior to Mitomycin. This study suggests long term follow up is required to establish recurrence in the management of superficial bladder cancer.

281 Background: To evaluate the efficacy of immediate post-TUR MMC instillation in high risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer treated with BCG. Methods: From January 2000 to December 2007, 162 high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients underwent TUR and BCG instillation at our institution. Among them 76 patients received additional immediate post-TUR MMC instillation (Group A), and remaining 86 patients underwent TUR and BCG instillation only (Group B). 60mg of MMC was mixed with 50ml of normal saline and was instilled in bladder within 2 hours after TUR. Tice strain BCG 12.5mg was used with 6-week induction course followed by 3-week maintenance every 3 months. The recurrence rate, time to recurrence, and stage and grade at recurrence were investigated. The mean follow-up was 33.4 months. Results: There were no significant differences in the characteristics of both groups, including age, sex, stage, and grade. Group A showed significantly lower recurrence rate than Group B (26.3% vs 48.8%, p=0.003). Group A showed somewhat longer time to recurrence but it was not statistically different (24.9 months vs 21.8 months, p=0.293). The change in stage and grade at recurrence were not different between 2 groups ( Table ). The 5-year recurrence free survival rate was significantly higher in Group A (72% vs 42%, p=0.003). Conclusions: The immediate post-TUR MMC instillation significantly reduced recurrence in high risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients treated by BCG. But it did not influenced the stage and grade at recurrence. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract Background To explore possible solutions to overcome chronic Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) shortage affecting seriously the management of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) in Europe and throughout the world, we investigated whether non-maintenance eight-dose induction BCG (iBCG) was comparable to six-dose iBCG plus maintenance BCG (mBCG). Methods This observational study evaluated 2669 patients with high- or highest-risk NMIBC who treated with iBCG with or without mBCG during 2000–2019. The patients were classified into five groups according to treatment pattern: 874 (33%) received non-maintenance six-dose iBCG (Group A), 405 (15%) received six-dose iBCG plus mBCG (Group B), 1189 (44%) received non-maintenance seven−/eight-dose iBCG (Group C), 60 (2.2%) received seven−/eight-dose iBCG plus mBCG, and 141 (5.3%) received only ≤5-dose iBCG. Recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival, and cancer-specific survival were estimated and compared using Kaplan–Meier analysis and the log-rank test, respectively. Propensity score-based one-to-one matching was performed using a multivariable logistic regression model based on covariates to obtain balanced groups. To eliminate possible immortal bias, 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month conditional landmark analyses of RFS were performed. Results RFS comparison confirmed that mBCG yielded significant benefit following six-dose iBCG (Group B) in recurrence risk reduction compared to iBCG alone (groups A and C) before (P < 0.001 and P = 0.0016, respectively) and after propensity score matching (P = 0.001 and P = 0.0074, respectively). Propensity score-matched sequential landmark analyses revealed no significant differences between groups B and C at 12, 18, and 24 months, whereas landmark analyses at 6 and 12 months showed a benefit of mBCG following six-dose iBCG compared to non-maintenance six-dose iBCG (P = 0.0055 and P = 0.032, respectively). There were no significant differences in the risks of progression and cancer-specific death in all comparisons of the matched cohorts. Conclusions Although non-maintenance eight-dose iBCG was inferior to six-dose iBCG plus mBCG, the former might be an alternative remedy in the BCG shortage era. To overcome this challenge, further investigation is warranted to confirm the real clinical value of non-maintenance eight-dose iBCG.
