BLADDER CANCER

PARADIGM, [RE]DESIGNED

Bladder cancer is one of the costliest cancers to treat with 550.000 new cases annually worldwide, representing 5% of all new cases in the US. The clinical staging is determined by the depth of tumor invasion into the bladder wall and more than 70% of patients are diagnosed at an early stage, known as non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Despite early diagnosis, and treatment with standard-of-care Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), up to 80% of patients recur increasing the risk of progression. Because of bladder cancer’s high incidence, frequent recurrences, and low number of treatment options, a huge unmet medical need remains.
