View in English: BCG solution
Solución de BCG
Forma de terapia biológica para tratar el cáncer superficial (no invasor) de la vejiga. La solución se elabora con una forma atenuada de la bacteria (bacilo Calmette-Guérin) que no causa enfermedad pero estimula el sistema inmunitario del cuerpo. Se usa un catéter para poner la solución de BCG en la vejiga, donde se la deja por aproximadamente dos horas.
