How are treatment decisions evolving for high-risk NMIBC in the era of BCG shortage and expanding options?

Dr. Sima Porten and Dr. Patrick Hensley join Dr. Vignesh Packiam to discuss counseling newly diagnosed patients amid the ongoing BCG shortage and the rise of alternate therapies. They explore how to frame treatment options like BCG, gemcitabine/docetaxel, and clinical trials, tailor recommendations to patient needs, and prepare patients for the realities of maintenance and surveillance.
