The Bladder Cancer Canada Podcast
Thanks so much for joining us during Bladder Cancer Awareness month! There are over 80,000 Canadians currently living with a bladder cancer diagnosis and 13,400 more will be diagnosed this year. That means 37 people a day will be affected by the 5th most common cancer.
At Bladder Cancer Canada, we are doing everything we can to increase awareness of this devastating disease to as many Canadians as possible. For more information, visit our website at www.bladdercancercanada.org.

The BCG Podcast
BCG is a long name that many of us only guess at the pronunciation (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin). But most people aren’t aware it has been part of Canadian medical history for decades, and how a Canadian was involved in its use as a cancer treatment.
In this podcast, hosted by Collin Whitehouse, the unique and exciting history of BCG is explained by Dr. Alexander Zlotta. Dr. Zlotta is a Professor in the Department of Surgery and Urology at University of Toronto, Director of UroOncology at Mount Sinai, associate editor at Frontiers in Oncology and the Bladder Cancer journal, and staff member in the Division of Surgical Oncology at the Princess Margaret Cancer Center. Dr. Zlotta is also joined by NMIBC patient Jonathan Peterson.
