Intravesical Radiofrequency-Induced Chemohyperthermia for Carcinoma <i>in Situ</i> of the Urinary Bladder: A Retrospective Multicentre Study

Abstract

Intravesical RF-CHT showed good results in both treatment naïve and BCG-treated CIS patients, avoiding the need for cystectomy in 78.5% of cases for at least 3 years with a modest risk of progression. Thus, RF-CHT proves an alternative to cystectomy in selected high-risk patients.
