Recurrence of Non Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

Drs. Eila Skinner and Yair Lotan discuss the recurrence of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Dr Skinner, I was a patient of Dr John Steins @ Norris and he wanted to talk about RC after he returned from his conference. I didn't think it was that time. I have been in remission since 2009. Thank you for all you do.

I am treating myself with Oncolytic Virotherapy, Mistletoe and various natural medicines as well as intravenous therapies instead of chemotherapy or BCG. The Rigvir I use has no side effects and I am able to continue working and living a normal life. I am also a 37 year survivor of cervical cancer.

I hear and read talk of "low grade" and "high grade" . My own pathology report says "low grade to high grade" How does the physician stage a tumor when the report is like this, not simply either low or high grade?

[@asgargarayev]

It might be based on old classification, as a Grade I-II-III

After TURBT treatment boiled water is good or not? Kindly guide me

[@Wunderpus-photogenicus]

Can anyone answer the following question, please? If a patient is diagnosed to be NMIBC (T-cis with carcinoma in-situ cancer), and if he decides (or refuses) to not go through the long (very long) invasive treatment (e.g. years of BCG, cystoscopy, TURBT, repeated numerous times), and insists to go directly with radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion (e.g. Ileal conduit) option, is he allowed to do so, and whether Medicare or other private insurance will cover that? In other words, will such a patient be "forced" to go through years of BCG treatment before he can go to the RC and urinary diversion route? Thanks.

I am a patient, l think cystectomy right away for me would be a very agresive thing to do; I'am on bcg, 👋😊🤞
