Mike, thanks for sharing that encouraging research at U of Miami. Being a big time Florida State 'Nole fan perhaps I might need to say go 'canes instead if this works out! Thanks again for the great info.

It may someday, but these things tend to take some time. Certainly sounds promising at this point. Let's hope it progresses quickly and continues to show good results.

Here is another article about the same University of Miami trial with a video:
www.nbcmiami.com/news/New-Cancer-Drug-Developed-at-UM-127900303.html

Though it is being used for cases involving metastasis, might it be applicable to all bladder cancer ultimately?
I don't know much about this kind of thing, but it seems that something killing BC throughout one's body should be able to kill BC locally too.
At least it seems that this may be a step toward developing an application for localized treatment.

That would be a huge step forward if this proves successful. I so hope that Mr. Chambers has a wonderful result from this trial.

Best wishes... Catherine
