Advanced bladder cancer: therapy with cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II), adriamycin, and 5-fluorouracil. 1979

S D Williams, and J P Donohue, and L H Einhorn

Nineteen patients with unresectable or metastatic urothelial cancer were treated with the combination of cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II), Adriamycin, and 5-fluorouracil. One patient died within 2 weeks of therapy and one patient had no measurable disease, leaving 18 patients evaluable for survival and toxicity and 17 patients evaluable for response. Eleven patients (65%) achieved a partial remission with attendant clinical improvement, with a median duration of 25 weeks. All nonresponders have died, with a median survival of 17 weeks. The median survival of responding patients was 40 weeks, with two patients alive at 33+ and 63+ weeks. Of particular interest are three patients who had resections of residual pelvic disease after significant regression with chemotherapy. One of these patients remains disease-free at 63+ weeks. Toxicity was significant but generally manageable.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.
