Latest news, shortage of recommended meds is keeping a wrench in the works. TICE BCG is recommended as a bladder wash, weekly for 6 weeks. Not available anywhere in the US. VA is searching without success so far. This med has been in use world wide for 100 years as a Tuberculosis vaccine. Since about 1976 as an anti-bladder cancer med. It's been on "allocation" and bvackorder since 2019. Original TIRP procedure provides 64% survival after 5 years, add the med and survival jumps up to 95%. Currently no alternatives available.
