I’ve had BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin), and it didn’t work for me. Are there any other treatment options?
Bacillus Calmette Guerin, or BCG, is the most common intravesical treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. BCG does not work for all patients or patients may not be able to complete the treatment.

If BCG treatment does not work for you, then your doctor will discuss other treatment options for your condition.
