BCG+MM
Bladder — In Follow-up
BCG+MM
Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is common and can cause substantial suffering. If the cancer is “high risk” then in over 30% of people it can turn into a more aggressive form of bladder cancer that requires treatment such as removal of or radiotherapy to the bladder within 5 years despite best current treatment. This risk can be reduced by placing BCG bacteria into the bladder. Recent preliminary studies show promising results from also placing mitomycin, a chemotherapy drug, into the bladder along with BCG treatment. This large-scale, randomised trial will determine the effects of adding mitomycin to BCG on cure rates, survival, side effects, and quality of life.
If you think this trial might be right for you, please ask your doctor.
