Factors affecting guideline adherence in the initial treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer: Retrospective study in a French peripheral hospital.

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, adherence to NMIBC guidelines was low in all treatment types (intravesical therapy, re-resection, or cystectomy for very high-risk patients), but this finding was similar to that in previous studies. Reasons were mainly related to the urologist's decision or to the patient condition (poor compliance or poor general health status). LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.
