Abstract

Purpose: Intravesical BCG instillations improve Recurrence free survival in patients with non-muscle-invasive Bladder cancer (NMIBC). Methods: This is a national survey study, covering 223 urological centres, aimed at reliable identification of BCG availability and implemented treatment patterns. Results: Response rate was 93. 7%. BCG was used in 56. 5% of urological departments. Another 22. 7% referred patients to other hospitals for instillations, while 20. 8% did not recommend BCG at all. The most common indications for BCG instillations were as follows: T1 tumours (88. 5%), carcinoma in situ (83. 6%) and high grade tumours (73. 8%). Maintenance therapy was routinely abandoned in 16. 4% of centres or was scheduled for <1 year, 1 year, 3 years and 1-3 years in 6. 6%, 19. 7%, 21. 3% and 31. 2% of centres, respectively. Continuation of BCG despite treatment failure in carcinoma in situ cases was considered in 21. 3% of departments. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that BCG is underused, while patterns of maintenance and follow-up are suboptimal.
