JUST IN🚨New options for appropriate patients desiring bladder preservation at Mary Bird Perkins in Metairie. Dr. Scott Delacroix (@UroCancer ) has delivered Louisiana’s first Inlexzo (TAR-200) treatment for bladder cancer, and only the 3rd patient in the U.S. to receive it. For patients with bladder cancer, Inlexzo offers an alternative to invasive surgery. It may help preserve the bladder while still fighting the disease.
