- OBJECTIVE To characterize first and second recurrence patterns using 26 years of cohort-level follow-up and microsimulation modeling.METHODS Patients diagnosed with nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer in Stockholm County between 1995 and 1996 were included. Clinical, pathological, and longitudinal follow-up data were gathered. Logistic regressions, Kaplan Meier curves, and Cox proportional hazards models were run to generate assumptions for a microsimulation model, simulating first and second recurrence and progression for 10,000 patients.RESULTS Three hundred eighty-six patients were included: 67.4% were male; > 50% were TaLG; and 37.5% were American Urological Association high-risk. Median time to recurrence was 300 days. Three patients had missing data. Cohort follow-up has been carried out for 26 years. For simulated firstrecurrences, low-risk patients recurred at 56.6% over 15 years of follow-up, with 2.2% muscleinvasive (MI) progression; intermediate-risk patients recurred at 62.8%, with 4.3% MI progression; high-risk patients recurred at 48.7% over 15 years, with MI progression at 14.3%. For second recurrences, 70.7%, 75.7%, and 84.7% of low, medium, and high-risk patients recurred. No patients were seen to have first recurrences after 9 years, with low, but notable, rates beyond 5 years.CONCLUSION These data suggest that low-, intermediate-, and high-risk patients without recurrence at 5 years may be potentially transitioned to less invasive monitoring.
