Abstract in brief

  • Nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is frequently treated with mitomycin C (MMC) and bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), but high recurrence rates remain a challenge.
  • Research suggests that dietary isothiocyanates from cruciferous vegetables may enhance the effectiveness of these treatments by boosting enzyme metabolism and immune responses.
  • In a study with 1158 NMIBC patients, those on BCG who consumed more than 2.4 servings of raw cruciferous vegetables per month showed significantly lower risks of both first and multiple recurrences, indicating a potential benefit of diet in managing this cancer.
