A toxicity study of the treatment of T3 bladder tumours with a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
18 patients with category T3 bladder cancer were treated with a combination of radical radiotherapy followed after an interval of 1-3 months by pulsed chemotherapy with adriamycin and 5-fluorouracil. Providing the chemotherapy was limited to 4 cycles, there was no serious toxicity and the regime was well tolerated.
