Hi Ses
There does not seem to be an agreement by all Uro’s on the exact number of BCG maintenance treatments. Some Uros do not even believe maintenance treatments are warranted.
The Canadian Urologist Association’s latest paper written by members of our medical advisory board recommend a 3 year maintenance program if the patient can tolerate with full or reduced levels of BCG. Three weekly treatments at 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months.
My personal maintenance program was 12 monthly treatments which has worked so far as I will soon be 5 years all clear.
So as you can see there are variations and time frames.
All the best,
Jack
