Brief Summary

Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is the standard of care for high-risk patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) after transurethral tumor resection. Since 2012, global BCG shortage encouraged the search of alternative treatment for NMIBC treatment. Intravesical gemcitabine and docetaxel chemotherapy (GEM/DOCE) has shown safety and efficacy in 2 retrospective, single institution cohorts. At our institution, GEM/DOCE has been offered as an option for NMIBC in the treatment of high-risk BCG-naive patients per the protocol adapted from University of Iowa, in shortage situation. Our objective is to evaluate the efficacy of GEM/DOCE therapy.
