title: VM 26 (4-demethyl-epipodophyllotoxin-beta-d-thenylidine glucoside) in the treatment of urinary bladder tumors.
abstract: VM 26, a semisynthetic podophyllin derivative (4-demethyl-epipodo-phyllotoxin-beta-d-thenylidine glucoside) has been tested in 67 patients with urinary bladder tumors. In 25 patients with stage T 1 significant prolongation of the disease-free interval was reached. In 25 cases with state T 3-4, the effect of VM 26 was not favorable.
