Description
Patients with Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer who are receiving intravesical treatments are eligible to participate in this study. Participants will be asked to complete the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale prior to each induction intravesical treatment. During the 6-week induction intravesical treatment, participants will also be given a daily mood dairy to complete. Urine Specimens will be collected prior to each induction intravesical treatment and at each 3-month cystoscopy appointment during the treatment course. An at home urine collection may occur 6 hours post intravesical treatment. Research Blood Samples will be collected prior to the first induction intravesical treatment, prior to the fourth intravesical treatment, and prior to each 3-month follow-up cystoscopy as indicated by the participant's treatment course. Participants will be asked to complete the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale prior to each 3-month follow-up cystoscopy during the treatment course. A 3-week daily mood diary will be completed by participants during the 3-week intravesical maintenance treatment. Participants will be given a daily mood diary to complete between the 3-month follow-up cystoscopy appointments.
