Female urology

Abstract

Conclusions: One immediate intravesical instillation of chemotherapy significantly decreases the risk of recurrence after TUR in patients with stage Ta T1 single and multiple bladder cancer. It is the treatment of choice in patients with a single, low risk papillary tumor and is recommended as the initial treatment after TUR in patients with higher risk tumors. Editorial Comment This paper should be read by every urologist dealing with superficial bladder cancer. Briefly, the facts are clear-single-shot instillation is a highly effective treatment with low cost. It should be give after every TUR. High-risk tumors deserve further therapy, to my opinion with BCG. Intravesical cytotoxic drug instillations have their clear role in urology now: as single shot therapy.
