A preliminary study of chemotherapeutic treatment for bladder tumors.
Our objective was to develop new methods of chemotherapeutic treatment for bladder tumors. Once or twice a week under cystoscopy 10 to 20 mg, doxorubicin hydrochloride were administered directly into the tumors. This procedure was repeated until the size of the tumors was reduced or had disappeared completely under cystoscopic study. A new type of flexible needle was fabricated for this purpose. In 9 patients studied the total success rate was 78%. No significant side effects were seen in any of the patients.[1]References
