Research progress in intravesical instillation for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer

Abstract

Bladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the urinary system， which seriously affects patients’ health and life. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor is the main treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer （NMIBC）， whereas high recurrence rate after surgery remains the main challenge. To prevent tumor recurrence， intravesical instillation is often performed postoperatively by clinicians. In this article， traditional intravesical instillation， new drugs and therapeutic regimens were illustrated and summarized， aiming to provide valuable reference for clinical treatment of NMIBC.
