Abstract

Objective: Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) limited availability, cost, and allergic response in some patients limit its use, leading to the search for alternative agents. We aimed to present the outcomes of intermediate- and high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancers treated with bladder wall thermochemotherapy (BWT) system via a single-arm prospective study.
