Chemohyperthermia using HIVEC results in high recurrence-free survival and a 2-year progression-free survival rate of 98% with a bladder preservation rate of almost 80%. Comparing our data, HIVEC shows better oncological results together with better tolerability and safety making HIVEC a good alternative for patients who refuse radical cystectomy or who are ineligible for radical cystectomy.
