Abstract
Objective
To investigate the influence of statins on the survival outcomes of patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) treated with adjuvant intravesical bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy.
Patients and Methods
A retrospective cohort of consecutive patients with NMIBC who received intravesical BCG therapy from 2001 to 2020 and statins prescription were identified. Overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were analysed between the Statins Group vs No-Statins Group using Kaplan–Meier method and multivariable Cox regression.
Results
A total of 2602 patients with NMIBC who received intravesical BCG were identified. The median follow-up was 11.0 years. On Kaplan–Meier analysis, the Statins Group had significant better OS (P < 0.001), CSS (P < 0.001), and PFS (P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis indicated statins treatment started before BCG treatment had better CSS (P = 0.02) and PFS (P < 0.01). Upon multivariable Cox regression analysis, the ‘statins before BCG’ group was an independent protective factor for OS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.607, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.514–0.716), and CSS (HR 0.571, 95% CI 0.376–0.868), but not RFS (HR 0.885, 95% CI 0.736–1.065), and PFS (HR 0.689, 95% CI 0.469–1.013).
Conclusions
Statins treatment appears to offer protective effects on OS and CSS for patients with NMIBC receiving adjuvant intravesical BCG.
