Dr. Packiam on background of study of sequential intravesical chemo in BCG-naïve NMIBC

Author(s)Urology Times staff

Vignesh Packiam, MD, explains how innovation driven by the BCG shortage led to a potential promising new regimen of sequential intravesical gemcitabine and docetaxel for patients with BCG-naïve non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Vignesh Packiam, MD, explains the background of the study, “Sequential Intravesical Gemcitabine and Docetaxel for bacillus Calmette-Guérin-Naïve High-Risk Nonmuscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer,” which was published in the Journal of Urology.
