Recruiting
We want to see if we can lower the chance of bladder cancer growing or spreading by using a type of chemotherapy instilled in the bladder, Gemcitabine and Docetaxel. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is treatment with Transurethral surgery of bladder tumor (TURBT) followed by instillations of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy into the bladder via a catheter.
