To characterize Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment patterns and associated outcomes in a large cohort of patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
Our retrospective analysis of patients aged ≥ 66 years with stage 0-1 urothelial bladder carcinoma diagnosed between 2000 and 2012 in the US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare database estimated proxies for recurrence and secondary events and both all-cause and bladder cancer-specific mortality.
