An Analysis of the Effect of Statin Use on the Efficacy of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin Treatment for Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder

This retrospective study in a large cohort of patients showed no statistically significant association between statin use and recurrence or progression to open surgery in patients treated with bacillus Calmette-Guerin for transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Based on these data patients should not be discouraged from taking statins while undergoing bacillus Calmette-Guerin treatment.
