The chemotherapy solution is kept in your bladder for around an hour before being drained away.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">People with intermediate-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer should be offered intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
