In this episode of Bladder Cancer Matters, host Rick Bangs sits down with urologic oncologist Dr. Minhaj Siddiqui to break down a critical but often overlooked gap in bladder cancer care—and what it means for patients.

They explore how non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is treated, why a simple step after surgery can dramatically reduce recurrence risk, and the surprising reality that many patients aren't receiving this guideline-recommended therapy.

Dr. Siddiqui shares insights from a groundbreaking national quality improvement initiative aiming to change that, while also offering practical advice patients can use to advocate for their own care. It's an eye-opening conversation that blends cutting-edge research with real-world impact—and could change how you think about bladder cancer treatment.
