Abstract :
This retrospective study1 evaluated 64 patients treated with intravesical BCG for high grade NMIBC from Dec 2008 to July 2012. Variables such as smoking, tumor size, location and multiplicity were evaluated. The authors defined smokers with large and multiple high grade NMIBC as high risk group and early radical cystectomy (RC)was recommended. In this investigation, tumor location showed no significant association with the prognosis outcomes.
