Updated: Prostate Cancer Drug Access Listing
CUA's Prostate Cancer Drug Access Listing was recently updated and is now posted on UROpedia Canada
Several provincial listing changes were included in this update.
Integration of TICE and VERITY-BCG(TM)
TO: Physicians Prescribing Treatment for Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC)
- Until 2021, TICE BCG was the only strain available in Canada.
- A second strain of BCG recently received conditional approval by Health Canada in 2021 and is available in the Canadian market: VERITY-BCGTM.
- The past shortage of BCG is therefore resolved.
The Medical Advisory Board of Bladder Cancer Canada, with endorsement by the Canadian Urological Association (2021), has reviewed and support the following suggestions. Click "READ MORE" for full details.
