The existing results indicate that HIVEC, when compared to conventional bladder perfusion chemotherapy, can lower the recurrence rate of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. However, it does not significantly affect the progression rate. There was no statistically significant difference observed in the incidence of adverse events between the use of HIVEC and conventional chemotherapy. Additionally, there was no significant difference in the recurrence rate, progression rate, and incidence of adverse events when compared to BCG.
