No sys chemo: Pathology is very important, make sure that muscle tissue was present in the tumor specimen. For low-grade non-muscle invasive bladder tumor, current standard care is adj local chemo (mitomycin) or BCG injection after resection. Systemic chemo is not needed for noninvasive tumor. Final decision depends on path. See your urologist.

Intravesicle meds: The treeatment of bladder cancer is based entirely on the extent of the mucosal invasion of muscle of the bladder. When the latter occurs surgery is required along with possible RT. When superficial it is managed by intra bladder chemo or BCG.
