About 70% to 80% of bladder cancers present as non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The management of NMIBC includes transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), followed by single-dose intravesical immunotherapy with bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) or intravesical chemotherapy (mitomycin C, epirubicin, or doxorubicin). The decision to instill BCG and/or chemotherapy is based on the risk of cancer progression or recurrence.
For practicing oncologists, it is crucial to address Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding NMIBC such as how to define individual risk groups and treatment recommendations for each group, how to identify BCG refractoriness and relapse in clinical practice, and how to manage patients who are BCG refractory.
Let's watch the recorded video on 'Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for NMIBC' to gain comprehensive insights from leading experts – Dr. Francisco X. Real from National Cancer Research Center of Spain and Dr. Félix Guerrero Ramos from Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid, Spain.
