Article Title: Use of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine: Indications and results
Abstract: Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine is used as a prophylaxis against new tumors and as therapy for existing tumors. It is particularly active against carcinoma in situ. This article reviews the use of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine to prevent recurrence and progression of superficial bladder cancers. Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine can prevent muscle invasion and can improve survival, but additional studies aimed at altering disease progression are needed.
