Papillary Tumor
FIG. 27: For true papillary recurrences in the Steinberg study,[25] the time point defining BCG unresponsive appeared a bit more definitive at 6 months. So for papillary tumors, ≥2 courses of BCG <6 months from the prior exposure (lowest line on the Kaplan-Meier curve in the Figure), appears to be the time point at which time these patients are truly BCG-unresponsive.
