A phase II study of intravesical mitomycin C in the treatment of superficial bladder cancer. 1983

G S Harrison, and D F Green, and D W Newling, and B Richards, and M R Robinson, and P H Smith

Twenty-three patients with histologically proven superficial bladder cancer (Tis, Ta, T1) were treated with intravesical instillations of Mitomycin C at a dose of 20 mg in 20 ml of water 3 times weekly for 21 instillations. Seventeen patients (77%) showed complete disappearance of all known disease and a further 4 showed partial responses. In 8 patients toxic effects developed (thrombocytopaenia 1, chemical cystitis 2, skin rash 3, urinary tract infection 2). All resolved rapidly on stopping the treatment but were severe enough in 5 patients to prevent them from receiving a full course of treatment.
