Bladder cancer
Initial treatment of MIBCLuis (69 years old)
Luis is 69 years old, and still happily runs a local jazz bar. He was diagnosed with high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) without CIS and underwent induction with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) (6/6 instillations). At follow-up cystoscopy 6 weeks after the last BCG cycle (e.g. 3 months after the start of BCG), a tumour was found at the bladder neck.
