I was reading that there is a worldwide shortage of BCG for BC treatment, is it still a problem in the U.K., and are patients still getting it?
Hi Leo. There have been occasional shortages but we have not seen any reports lately. Best wishes.
There are only a couple of companies that produce BCG and so when production is disrupted for any way it causes a worldwide shortage. In the event of shortages alternatives are used such as Mitomycin and Gemcitabine. These are chemo treatments as opposed to immunotherapy but can have the same results. Best wishes.
