Abstract

Intravesical BCG instillation is standard treatment for NMIBC following TURBT for specific indications. The presence of adverse effects following BCG instillation in bladder cancer patients has been a matter of study by several researchers. Though a common treatment protocol prospective studies in this area based in India are less common. In this prospective observational study this has been studied in detail. The adverse effects were classified based on the Cleveland classification and managed accordingly. The findings were analysed. Several conclusions were reached upon.
