Update on the guideline of guidelines: non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer

Jacob Taylor et al. BJU Int. 2020 Feb.

Abstract

Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is the most common form of bladder cancer, with frequent recurrences and risk of progression. Risk-stratified treatment and surveillance protocols are often used to guide management. In 2017, BJUI reviewed guidelines on NMIBC from four major organizations: the American Urological Association/Society of Urological Oncology, the European Association of Urology, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The present update will review major changes in the guidelines and broadly summarize new recommendations for treatment of NMIBC in an era of bacillus Calmette-Guérin shortage and immense novel therapy development.

Keywords: #bladdercancer; bacillus Calmette-Guérin; guidelines; immunotherapy; non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
