For anyone who is not aware of EMDA, it could be another procedure for bladder instillation.

My amazing urologist was at the CUA meeting in June and since we had discussed EMDA (Electromotive Drug Administration), he has updated me on the discussion that took place at the meeting.

“It looks promising. The primary barrier right now will be price (in Canada particularly). It adds considerable cost to treatment. This is not insurmountable, but will likely require a Canadian statement from the CUA etc. to allow us to convince the government/hospitals to fund.”

Is there anything BCC can do?
