Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify factors that predict recurrence by comparing low-dose and standard-dose Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) induction therapy in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Methods: A total 273 consecutive NMIBC who received (40 mg) or (80 BCG intravesical instillation between January 2004 December 2023 were analyzed. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates assessed using the Kaplan–Meier method log-rank test. Univariate multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses used independent predictors based on Club Urológico Español de Tratamiento Oncológico (CUETO) criteria. Results: test showed older age, low dose, number tumors, a history increased risk significantly. Regarding patients, similar two dose groups. However, younger had significantly lower compared BCG. Multiple analysis confirmed BCG, greater than three significant recurrence. Conclusions: In study, we found associated higher relapse standard doses, especially patients. Age-related differences immune response may influence these patterns.
