respectively). Furthermore, in male patients, the 5-year UTUC recurrence rate was significantly lower in patients treated with BCG (2.0%) than in those without BCG (4.3%, p[0.022), whereas no significant differences were observed in female patients. In subgroups of older male patients ( 70 years), the 5-year UTUC recurrence rate was significantly lower in patients treated with BCG (1.6%) than in those without BCG (5.9%, p[0.031). In subgroups of younger male patients (<70 years), no significant differences were noted between these two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Intravesical BCG instillation after TURBT may prevent UTUC as well as bladder recurrence, particularly in older male NMIBC patients.
