A member asked:
What is the name of the chemo pill used for bladder cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't know!: There is no oral chemotherapy used for bladder cancer as far as I know. All the regimens are IV. There is a type of drug that is instilled directly into the bladder, but no chemo pill. Are you sure it's for bladder cancer? There are chemo pills for other types of cancer, like colon, but not bladder.
