title: [Intravesical BCG, mitomycin-C and thiotepa in the prevention of bladder tumor recurrence after operation].
abstract: We observed the effects of intravesical irrigation with BCG (group B), Mitomycin-C (group M), and Thiotepa (group T) in prophylaxis of bladder tumor recurrence after surgical treatment. Follow-up for 1-10 years showed that the recurrence rate of bladder tumor was 12.5% (3/24) in group B, 46.9% (15/33) in group M, and 61.8% (21/34) in group T respectively. The effect of BCG was far better than that Mitomycin-C and Thiotepa (P < 0.01). In 5 cases, who failed to Thiotepa, also showed satisfactory results after use of intravesical BCG. Considering the side-effects of intravesical BCG, Thiotepa or Mitomycin-C should be used as the first choice of drugs in preventing the tumor recurrence.
