For patients with TaLG NMIBC free of recurrence for 10 years, discontinuation of routine cystoscopic surveillance or replacement with urinary markers and/or ultrasonography has been considered as the recurrence rate drops after 5 years. We investigated the long-term follow-up of TaLG NMIBC to further define the length of monitoring. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 529 patients with primary TaLG NMIBC diagnosed between 1989-2019 and followed until 2021 using patient records and the Bladder Cancer Informatics System at the University Health Network, Canada. We assessed the risk of progression to high grade Ta/T1 NMIBC, progression to muscle-invasive disease, metastasis and risk of death due to BC at 5, 10 and 15 years using cumulative incidence functions. Non-BC death served as a competing risk for death due to BC, and all-cause death served as a competing risk for all other outcomes. RESULTS: Among 529 patients (73% men, median age 67.5 years), 360 (68%) recurred, 50(9%) progressed in stage, 20 (4%) developed metastases and 15 (3%) died from BC. Median follow-up was 9.4 years. 312/360 (87%) patients recurred within the first 5 years. Of the 217 patients who did not recur within the first 5 years, 11 died due to non BC related causes. Of the remaining patients, 48 (9% of the entire cohort) recurred. 36 patients (free of recurrence in the first 5 years) recurred within 10 years of their diagnosis, 9 recurred between 10-15 years and 3 between 15-20 years. Of the 15 patients who succumbed to BC (median 9.6 years; IQR3.6-14.8 years) despite presenting initially with TaLG disease, 80% were men, 10% had associated CIS, 67% had multiple tumors and 80% had tumors <3 cm. The actuarial CSS were 99%, 97% and 96% at 5, 10 and 15 years, respectively, whereas the progression to MIBC or metastases was 3, 5 and 6% at 5, 10 and 15 years. Limitations include the retrospective analysis and results obtained in a tertiary referral center might not be generalizable. CONCLUSIONS: Surveillance of patients with TaLG NMIBC should definitely be continued beyond 5 years of follow-up and probably even beyond 10 years. Even after being free of recurrence for 5 years, about 10% of patients will recur. Although the risk is low, about 3% of patients presenting with TaLG NMIBC will eventually die from the disease, most in the intermediate risk category. The term “cancer” for TLGa NMIBC should therefore be kept in our opinion.
