Cover Story: This study examines the changes in patients’ urinary symptoms during Bacillus Calmette–Guerin (BCG) therapy for bladder cancer. BCG is known to cause short-term urinary issues, but its full impact is not well understood. The authors followed 60 patients prospectively, using the OAB-q SF to track symptom changes over a 6-week induction period. There were no significant differences in the average urinary symptom scores during intravesical BCG therapy. View this paper
