title: [Clinical study on super-selective camptothecin microsphere's embolization of internal iliac artery for bladder carcinoma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the efficacy of camptothecin microsphere's embolization of the internal iliac artery for bladder carcinoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Eighteen patients with inoperable and advanced bladder carcinoma were treated with camptothecin microsphere's super-selective embolization of the internal iliac artery.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Tumor size was reduced significantly, and tumor cells were damaged to various degrees in 17 patients. Adverse effects were not found.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Camptothecin microsphere's embolization of the internal iliac artery is a safe and effective therapy for inoperable and advanced bladder carcinoma.
