It is the <strong>recommended treatment<\/strong> for all patients with frequently recurring and high-grade Ta. &nbsp;It is recommended for all patients with T1 stage non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and carcinoma in situ of the bladder. &nbsp;The benefits of BCG are numerous, including decreased tumor recurrence and progression. &nbsp;The evidence points out that BCG treatment likely also improves the survival of patients with bladder cancer and decreases the need for major bladder surgery.<\/p>\n<p>At New York Urology Specialists, <strong>we use the latest evidence-based medicine recommendations.<\/strong> &nbsp;Currently, the <strong>recommended protocol for BCG<\/strong> administration by the National Cancer Care Network guidelines is an induction course of BCG of 6 weeks followed by <strong>maintenance BCG<\/strong> for three years. If the tumor recurs, the recommendations are more complex and depend on a variety of factors, including patient condition, disease grade and stage, and patient&#8217;s ability to tolerate other treatments.&nbsp; Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger and many other specialists in the treatment of bladder cancer recommend additional <strong>\u2018booster\u2019 treatments with BCG<\/strong> beyond 3 years, given that there are studies that suggest that the benefit can be maintained for many years with additional BCG doses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At New York Urology Specialists, BCG treatment is recommended to all eligible patients who are willing to undergo it. <\/strong>&nbsp;Your doctor will explain the common risks and side effects of treatment.
