Dual chemo combo with great results
Very interesting study (see limitations in article) with great results from treating BCG resistant NMIBC patients with a combo-chemo treatment. More than 80% of patients showed no recurrence after 2 years. Minor side effects too. Requires monthly treatment though. But still a great alternative to removing a bladder.

6 once a week instillations to make for the induction then monthly instillations....indefinitely. It is an option for sure. Just leaves lots of room for other agents, such as ours. Chemo can be irritating so not sure that they patients were thrilled at the never-ending monthly instillations.

I've been through 20 rounds of BCG. It's not good!

Have to get Urologist and Oncologist on board.

NOtaPOOp maybe you should learn to read... The 82 % in your article is for High-Risk(NMIBC) these are the regular patients that BCG treat, with about the same CR% results. TLT is treating BCG-Resistant (NMIBC) absolutely not the same patients...if TLT was treating the same patients as in your article(High-Risk NMIBC) TLT CR% could easily be over 90-95% CR.

Wildbird1 - yes, you're right. Thanks for the correction. I should have caught that. Sheesh. Btw, where did you earn your Bachelor's in Public Civility from? Bencro High?
