Multicenter Retrospective Registry Study on BCG Use in Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer in Latin America: BLATAM (Bladder Cancer in Latin America) Group
This study highlights critical deviations from recommended NMIBC management protocols in Latin America, including delayed BCG initiation and inconsistencies in maintenance therapy. These findings emphasize the need for standardized treatment protocols and improved adherence to international guidelines, which could enhance NMIBC patient outcomes in the region. Collaborative efforts are essential to develop region-specific strategies, improve data collection, and ultimately provide better care for bladder cancer patients in Latin America.
