Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy in Memorial Göztepe Hospital
About the clinic
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy is an immunotherapy placed inside the bladder for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. At Memorial Göztepe Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, treatment planning is supported by a multidisciplinary cancer team. Memorial Health Group holds JCI accreditation and was Turkey’s first JCI-accredited hospital group.
How BCG therapy is given
BCG is usually considered after transurethral resection, a procedure that removes a bladder tumor. A clinician passes a catheter through the urethra to place the medicine inside the bladder. The bladder instillation itself does not need an incision.
The schedule may involve one dose or weekly instillations for 6–8 weeks. The treatment aims to target remaining cancer cells and lower the chance of recurrence. The plan depends on the patient’s case.
Bladder cancer planning at Memorial Göztepe
The hospital’s tumor board brings together specialists in urology, medical and radiation oncology, pathology, nuclear medicine, genetics, psycho-oncology, and nutrition. This team reviews care plans for patients with cancer.
Digital PET/CT imaging is available on site to help confirm diagnosis and guide treatment planning. The hospital also has a 3 Tesla MRI. Imaging and specialist review can support decisions about the next steps after tumor resection.
Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss whether BCG therapy may fit their treatment plan.
