Adjuvant chemotherapy for bladder cancer with doxorubicin hydrochloride and cyclophosphamide: preliminary report. 1978

C Merrin, and S Beckley

We describe 25 patients with bladder cancer who received adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin hydrochloride and cyclophosphamide after radical cystectomy. Two patients had stage A disease, 3 had stage B, 3 had stage C and 17 had stage D. The 2 patients with stage A tumors have been free of disease for 12 and 15 months, respectively, and the 3 patients with stage B tumors have been free of disease for an average of 25 months. Of the 3 patients with stage C tumors 2 have been free of disease for an average of 34.5 months. Of the 17 patients with stage D tumors 10 have been free of disease for an average of 1 year (59 per cent). These preliminary results seem to indicate the value of adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin hydrochloride and cyclophosphamide in cases of bladder cancer.
