Conclusions Despite disparities in initial treatment (e.g. induction versus maintenance BCG versus chemotherapy), around 1 in 4 patients with high-risk NMI tumors progress to muscle invasion within 5 years of diagnosis. T2 progression increased DSM more than five fold when compared to non-progressing patients. Consequently, the long-term cure rate from radical treatment dropped from 90-91% to 48.6% with muscle invasion. BCG does not reduce progression in these tumors, suggesting a need to change in treatment strategy Our data enlarge the literature base and reveal consistency in outcomes that suggests a change in management for these tumors is required.
