title: [Fundamental studies on intravesical instillation of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum for treatment of urinary bladder tumors. I: On the effects of intravesical instillation of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum in normal beagle dogs].
abstract: Cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (DDP) is one of the most effective agents in the treatments of advanced bladder cancer, but little is known of its local and systemic toxicity when it is instilled intravesically. The objectives of this experiment were to study the local and systemic toxicity of intravesical DDP in order to know whether intravesical DDP is applicable for prophylaxis and/or definitive treatment of superficial bladder cancers. Six female Beagle dogs were used for the 48-hour retention study and 2 mongrel dogs were used for the 3-hour study. Plasma and bladder platinum concentration were measured following intravesical DDP, and also histopathological examination, urinalysis, complete blood count and blood chemistry were performed in order to know the toxicity of intravesical DDP. Plasma platinum concentration was not elevated significantly and no remarkable changes were observed in blood examinations after intravesical DDP. Bladder tissue platinum concentration was significantly elevated up to 16.96 micrograms/g . wet after 3 hours DDP retention and 4.02 +/- 2.8 micrograms/g . wet after 48 hours retention in dogs. At present, intravesical instillation of DDP seems to have minimum local toxicity and no systemic toxicity, but further study is necessary for long term topical instillation of DDP.
