title: [Intravesical chemotherapy with mitomycin C after TUR for superficial bladder carcinoma].
abstract: Fifty-four patients mean aged 58.5 years (28 women and 26 men) undergo transurethral resection for superficial bladder carcinoma. Postoperatively 20 mg mitomycin is administered by instillation into the bladder for 8 weeks. Preoperative assessment includes: complete blood count, urea, creatinine, isotope nephrography, ultrasonography, excretory urography and CT scan of pelvis. Multifocal lesions are diagnosed in 22 patients (40.7%). In 36 cases (66.7%) it is a matter of solitary papillomas. The distribution of lesions is as follows: left bladder wall--12 patients (22.2%), right bladder wall--13 (24.07 per cent), trigone--18 (33.3%), and anterior bladder wall--11 (20.03 per cent). Postoperative check-ups: cytological assessment of urine and regular endoscopic study at 3-6 months. Recurrence rate amounts to 42.5% for the maximum follow-up period.
