The 1- and 3-year probability of recurrence was 19% and 44%, respectively. The grade and stage of recurrences were 28.9% LG Ta, 34.4% HG Ta, 15.8% pure CIS, 0.3% LG T1, 15.4% HG T1, and 5.4% unknown. After adjustment for a priori clinical and demographic factors, smoking status had no significant association with recurrence. Smoking status was not significantly association with recurrence in a study of patients with predominantly high-risk recurrent NMIBC managed with photodynamic enhanced cystoscopy.

This raises the possibility of consequential lens dose from scattered electrons, which this study investigates. This study measures the dose beside an applicator at a depth of 3 mm in a phantom as an estimate of lens dose for such patients. The lens dose is investigated as a function of height, distance, beam energy, applicator size, and cutout fill on a Varian Trilogy linear accelerator. The effect of the potential mitigation strategies of turning the head or shielding with lead sheets is also investigated. Measurement found that a typical hand setup may result in the lens receiving 0.15% of the treatment dose, which would deliver a cumulative dose above the demonstrated threshold dose for cataract risk for some courses. Large applicators and close facial proximity to the applicator separately enhance dose by factors of 3 and 5 respectively, raising the possibility of multiple gray to the lens for patients in unfavorable setups. Simple and effective mitigation strategies are available Tu
