Despite the 40-year reign of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) as the most effective immunotherapy in urologic cancers, a lack of clinical tools to predict treatment response has hampered progress in the field. Acting as an immunostimulatory agent against a multitude of phenotypically diverse non-muscle-invasive bladder cancers, response to BCG likely depends on both tumor characteristics as well as host factors. With a deeper understanding of the tumor biology as well as the mechanism of action underpinning immunotherapy, newer and more effective clinical tools are being constructed to improve patient selection.
