Shacky,

Here is a brief summary of both BCG and Mitomycin. I do believe that BCG has a little better rate of stopping things but, that is an individual thing. Some posters here have had better result with Mitomycin, plus there has been a worldwide shortage of BCG so that also be at play. www.uptodate.com/contents/bladder-cancer-treatment-non-muscle-invasive-superficial-cancer-beyond-the-basics

DX 5/6/2008 TAG3 papillary tumor .5 CM in size. 2 TURBS followed by 6 instillations of BCG weekly with a second round of 6 after a 6 week wait.

My urologist wants to start infusion treatments with mitomycin. Been waiting 6 weeks for BCG and Tokyo Trial fell though.

What are the pros and cons of 6 weeks mitomycin vs. BCG?

I had T1 G3 removed end of June. Second look biopsy end of August all clear.

T1 Grade 3 with CIS
