Innovative therapies that use your immune system to attack bladder cancer.
Immunotherapy is an innovative form of treatment that trains your immune system to recognize cancer cells and destroy them like any other disease. We also can use immunotherapy to strengthen your immune system and unleash its full potential in the battle against non-invasive (superficial) and advanced bladder cancers.
Our bladder cancer team offers clinical trial research therapies and participates in ongoing research to continuously advance treatments for bladder cancer.
Our team may recommend immunotherapy following transurethral resection (TUR) as part of your treatment plan if you’ve been diagnosed with non-invasive (superficial) bladder cancer.
First, your doctor will use the TUR procedure to scrape or burn off the cancer from the surface layers of the bladder. Next, you’ll receive an injection of immunotherapy medication into your bladder to destroy any remaining cancer cells.
We offer two forms of immunotherapy for non-invasive bladder cancer:
In addition to the intravesical immunotherapy we use for some patients with superficial bladder cancer, our doctors continue to research other forms of immunotherapies, such as antibody therapies and cancer vaccines, as potential options to treat advanced bladder cancer.
Some additional immunotherapy options include:
These drugs can be used in different situations to treat bladder cancer.
