Abstract

The high recurrence rate and poor prognosis of non‑muscle invasive bladder cancer (BC) are challenges that need to be urgently addressed. Transurethral cystectomy for bladder tumors is often combined with bladder perfusion therapy, which can effectively reduce the recurrence and progression rates of BC. The present review integrated and analyzed currently available bladder perfusion drugs, mainly including chemotherapeutic agents, immunotherapeutic agents and other adjuvant perfusion drugs. Bacillus Calmette‑Guerin (BCG) perfusion was the pioneering immunotherapy for early BC and still ranks high in the selection of perfusion drugs. However, BCG infusion has a high toxicity profile and has been shown to be ineffective in some patients. Due to the limitations of BCG, new bladder perfusion drugs are constantly being developed. Immunotherapeutic agents have opened a whole new chapter in the selection of therapeutic agents for bladder perfusion. The present review explored the mechanism of action, clinical dosage and adverse effects of a variety of bladder perfusion drugs currently in common use, described combined perfusion and compared the effects of certain drugs on BC.
