Does anyone know of treatments more effective than BCG?

Dear Paul-- Thank you for this addendum. I've had two TURBTs and a second opinion on the first path report was diagnosed high grade non-invasive-- while my own doctor's assessment was low grade--and neither party could explain the discrepancy. The second path report was assessed by both organizations and indicates I have "intermediate" grade and higher risk but still non-invasive cancer. My doc. had a vesta test done on my second path report which simply said I had a slightly higher risk of it progressing than average (whatever that means)--but my doc said this was the first time he had heard of the company and their tests. When asked he also said vesta does not test for the potential of BCG working with low or intermediate grade bladder cancers.

Do you know if Valar Labs has data on how accurate their vesta test is? And might you know if, when asked, they perform it on "intermediate" grade cancer?

Thanks very much---and all the best to you.

@dopps
I had not heard of Valar Labs until now. I'll look into it.
