Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients must have histologically proven Ta, carcinoma in situ (CIS) or T1 stage
urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder within 90 days of registration

- Patients must have had all grossly visible papillary tumors removed within 30 days
prior to registration or cystoscopy confirming no grossly visible papillary tumors
within 30 days prior to registration

- Patients with T1 disease must have cross-sectional imaging of abdomen/pelvis
demonstrating no evidence of metastatic disease (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] or
computed tomography [CT] scan) within 90 days prior to registration; patients with T1
disease must have re-resection confirming =< T1 disease within 90 days prior to
registration

- Patients must have high-grade bladder cancer as defined by 2004 World Health
Organization (WHO)/International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) classification

- Patients must not have pure squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma

- Patients' disease must not have micropapillary components

- Patients must have no evidence of upper tract (renal pelvis or ureters) cancer
confirmed by one of the following tests performed within 90 days prior to
registration: CT urogram, intravenous pyelogram, magnetic resonance (MR) urogram, or
retrograde pyelograms

- Patients must not have nodal involvement or metastatic disease

- No other prior malignancy is allowed except for the following: adequately treated
basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, adequately treated
stage I or II cancer from which the patient is currently in complete remission, or any
other cancer from which the patient has been disease free for five years; patients
with localized prostate cancer who are being followed by an active surveillance
program are also eligible

- Patients must have a Zubrod performance status of 0-2

- Patients must not have received prior intravesical BCG

- Patients must not have known history of tuberculosis

- Patients must be PPD negative within 90 days prior to registration; PPD negativity is
defined as < 10 mm diameter induration (palpable, raised hardened area) in the volar

ml)

- Patients must be >= 18 years of age

- Patients must not be taking oral glucocorticoids at the time of registration
