Patterns of Recurrence and Outcomes Following Induction Bacillus Calmette-Guerin for High Risk Ta, T1 Bladder Cancer

There was no association of the timing of recurrence after induction bacillus Calmette-Guerin on long-term survival probability. When patients had early recurrence there was a slightly higher probability of cystectomy but not progression to muscle invasive cancer. When cystectomy was performed the 5-year postoperative survival probability was lower than that reported in contemporary series.
