OBJECTIVES: Examine the understanding of terminologies and management patterns of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) in six territories in Asia-Pacific.
METHODS: This study involved two phases: (1) a survey with 32 urologists and 7 medical oncologists (MOs) and (2) a factorial experiment and in-depth interviews with 23 urologists and 2 MOs. All clinicians had ≥8 years' experience managing NMIBC patients in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. Data from Phase 1 were summarized using descriptive statistics; content and thematic analyses applied in Phase 2.
RESULTS: In phase 1, 35% of clinicians defined BCG-unresponsive as BCG-refractory, -relapse and -resistant, 6% defined it as BCG-refractory and -relapse; 22% classified BCG-failure as BCG-refractory, -relapse, -resistant, and when muscle-invasive bladder cancer is detected. If eligible and willing, 50% (interquartile range [IQR], 50%-80%) of BCG-unresponsive patients would undergo radical cystectomy (RC), and 50% (IQR 20%-50%) of RC-eligible patients would receive bladder-sparing treatment or surveillance. In phase 2, we found that 32%, 88%, and 48% of clinicians, respectively, used "BCG-unresponsive," "BCG-refractory," and "BCG-relapse" in clinical practice but with no consistent interpretation of the terms. Compared with EAU definitions, 8%-60% of clinicians appropriately classified 9 tumor types that are persistent or recurrent after adequate BCG. Fifty percent of clinicians mentioned a lack of bladder-preserving treatment that outperforms RC in quality of life as a reason to retreat BCG-unresponsive patients with BCG.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed varied understanding and application of BCG-unresponsive terminologies in practice. There is a need for a uniform and simple definition of BCG-unresponsive disease in Asia-Pacific.
