Abstract:
We tried to treat 16 patients with superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder with prophylactic and therapeutic intravesical chemotherapy. The 2 drugs used were adriamycin and thio-tepa and checked for efficacy by repeated cystoscopy with at least 3 months` interval. The clinical data and results of both groups are presented and the importance of intravesical treatment with minimal toxicity is discussed with a brief review of the literatures.
