Advanced Bladder Cancer Treatments
We are committed to providing our patients with the most advanced, effective, and accessible bladder cancer therapies available today. From breakthrough medications to precision surgical techniques, our clinic is leading the way in South Texas.
Innovative BCG Therapy & Access
Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) remains the gold standard for treating non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). However, global shortages have often limited patient access to this vital treatment.
- rBCG (Recombinant BCG): We are proud to offer access to rBCG, a specialized form of the therapy.
- Cost-Free Access: We understand the financial burden of cancer care. Our clinic provides rBCG to eligible patients for FREE, ensuring that your recovery is determined by medical need, not financial constraints.
Adstiladrin (Zusduri): A San Antonio First
Innovation isn't just a goal; it's our standard. We are proud to announce that our clinic was the first private clinic in San Antonio to administer Zusduri (Adstiladrin).
This gene-based therapy is a breakthrough for patients with high-risk, BCG-unresponsive NMIBC. By delivering a specific gene directly to the bladder wall, Zusduri helps the body produce its own interferon to fight cancer cells. Being the first in the region to offer this underscores our commitment to bringing the latest FDA-approved breakthroughs to our community.
South Texas Leadership
Our team is focused on bringing advanced bladder cancer therapies to patients locally, with expert guidance and access to newer treatment options.
Precision surgery
Laser En Bloc Resection
For the removal of select bladder tumors, we utilize Laser En Bloc Resection, a sophisticated alternative to traditional methods.
The En Bloc Advantage
Unlike traditional Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT), which removes the tumor in fragments, the En Bloc technique removes the tumor in a single, whole piece using laser precision.
Why choose Laser En Bloc?
- Better Pathological Samples: Removing the tumor in one piece allows pathologists to see the exact margins and depth of the cancer, leading to more accurate staging.
- Reduced Recurrence: Research and clinical literature suggest that the En Bloc technique may reduce the risk of "seeding" (scattering) cancer cells during surgery, potentially lowering recurrence rates.
- Faster Recovery: The precision of the laser minimizes bleeding and trauma to the surrounding bladder tissue.
