Genomic & immunological predictors of response to intravesical therapy
Many bladder cancers are treated with medications put into the bladder in order to prevent them the cancers from growing further into the bladder wall. In some cases, these treatments do not work as they are meant to. At present, we do not know when the treatments might fail. The aim of this study is to assess bladder cancer samples to identify changes within them that may predict whether the commonly used treatments will work or not.
