摘要
背景:膀胱内卡介苗(BCG)是治疗中危、高级别、高风险非肌肉浸润性膀胱癌(NMIBC)的标准治疗方法。然而,它与不良反应有关,可能导致治疗中断或停止。目的:本研究分析诱导卡介苗的耐受性和疗效,以及相关的患者和疾病相关因素。方法:回顾性分析2011年至2021年在我院接受诱导BCG治疗的高级别NMIBC患者。耐受性定义为完成了6周的卡介苗诱导疗程,没有中断或停止治疗。采用多变量logistic回归来确定与不能耐受治疗相关的危险因素。结果:203例NMIBC患者接受诱导BCG治疗,其中147例(72%)耐受。44例(22%)患者出现治疗中断,12例(5.9%)患者停止治疗。中断的中位长度为1周,主要是由于担心尿路感染(n = 18, 41%)或总血尿(n = 5, 11%)。耐受卡介苗组和不耐受卡介苗组的1年复发率无显著差异(50% vs 48%)。与诱导卡介苗不能耐受相关的危险因素包括男性(优势比[OR] = 5.76, p < 0.01)、高血压(OR = 3.47, p = 0.02)和治疗前低血红蛋白水平(OR = 0.73, p = 0.03)。结论:28%的患者无法耐受卡介苗,5.9%的患者停药。中断时间很短,主要与尿路感染有关,很少导致中断。耐受性差与男性、高血压和治疗前血红蛋白水平低有关,这突出了降低卡介苗中断或停药风险的关键目标。
Tolerability and efficacy of induction Bacillus Calmette-Guérin for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Background: Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the standard treatment for intermediate-risk, high-grade, and high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). However, it is associated with adverse effects, potentially causing treatment interruptions or discontinuation.
Objectives: This study analyzed the tolerability and efficacy of induction BCG, with associated patient- and disease-related factors.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on BCG-naive patients diagnosed with high-grade NMIBC, who received induction BCG at our institution between 2011 and 2021. Tolerability was defined as the completion of a 6-week induction course of BCG without treatment interruption or discontinuation. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine risk factors associated with the inability to tolerate treatment.
Results: Induction BCG was given to 203 NMIBC patients, where 147 (72%) patients tolerated the treatment. Treatment interruptions occurred in 44 (22%) patients, while 12 (5.9%) patients discontinued the treatment. The median length of interruption was 1 week, primarily due to concerns about urinary tract infection (UTI) (n = 18, 41%) or gross hematuria (n = 5, 11%). No significant difference in 1-year recurrence rates was observed between those who tolerated BCG and those who did not (50% vs. 48%). Risk factors associated with the inability to tolerate induction BCG included male sex (odds ratio [OR] = 5.76, p < 0.01), hypertension (OR = 3.47, p = 0.02), and low pre-treatment hemoglobin levels (OR = 0.73, p = 0.03).
Conclusion: Inability to tolerate BCG occurred in 28% of patients, with 5.9% experiencing discontinuation. Interruptions were short, mostly concerning UTI, and rarely leading to discontinuation. Poor tolerability was associated with male sex, hypertension, and low pre-treatment hemoglobin levels, highlighting critical targets for reducing the risk of BCG interruption or discontinuation.
