• Surgeons now using 'pretzels' to spare bladder for noninvasive bladder cancer patients (vumc.org) — A Brentwood man with noninvasive bladder cancer is sharing how an experimental slow-release chemotherapy "pretzel" device, tested through a Vanderbilt Health clinical trial, helped clear his cancer without removing his bladder. His story highlights both the challenges of living with the device and the strong support he received from Vanderbilt staff, as this newly FDA-approved treatment becomes more widely available.
