The Efficacy and Safety of Hyperthermia Intravesical Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer: A Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: The current treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is suboptimal. However, in recent years, hyperthermia intravesical chemotherapy (HIVEC) has emerged as a more effective alternative to conventional bladder perfusion. This novel treatment approach appears to have a similar therapeutic effect as Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) perfusion.
