title: [Assessment of the optimization of the conditions of mitomycin C intravesical instillation completion in the setting of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer treatment].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The efficacy of intravesical instillation of mitomycin C (MMC) requires alkalinisation and concentration of urine before each instillation. The objective of the study was to assess compliance and effectiveness of urine alkalinazation and fluid restriction protocols in patients treated with intravesical instillations of MMC for TVNIM.
  Descriptive prospective epidemiological study in all patients consecutively treated with intravesical instillations of MMC for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Patients should be advised to drink 2 liters of water from Vichy and to perform fluid restriction the day before the instillations. Before each instillation, a questionnaire on the implementation of these measures was filled, density and pH were determined by urinalysis strips.
  
  
  RESULTS
  On 126 questionnaires fulfilled, 117 patients (93%) and 106 patients (84%) reported having made alkalinization and fluid restriction, respectively. Ninety-one of patients (78%) reported having performed alkalinization had a pH greater than or equal to 6.5 and the mean urinary pH was 6.94 vs. 5.94 in patients stating not to have made alkalizing (P=0.0001). No significant differences in urine density according to fluid restriction was found.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The observance of the instructions regarding urine alkalinization before MMC instillations was satisfactory and has achieved a sufficiently high urinary pH to prevent degradation of the product in 91% of cases. Conversely, the fluid restriction was not followed closely and has not shown its effectiveness on the concentration of urine.
