The impact of single-nucleotide polymorphisms on intravesical recurrence after bacillus Calmette–Guérin therapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer in a genome-wide association study

Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) instillation therapy is widely used to reduce intravesical recurrence in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). In this study, we aimed to reveal the genetic variations associated with intravesical recurrence after BCG therapy for NMIBC in a genome-wide association study (GWAS).This study included Japanese patients with NMIBC, in whom genomic DNA was obtained from whole blood samples. The association between...
