2008

Introduction and Objective: The clinical value of early intravesical adjuvant chemotherapy after TUR of intermediate risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMI TCCB) is well established. On the other hand, the optimal schedule regimen and the role of maintenance are still debated. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of one-year maintenance schedule in patients submitted to TUR plus adjuvant early intravesical chemotherapy. Methods: Between May 2002 and August 2003, 577 patients, were recruited. All patients underwent TUR and early (within 6 hours) intravesical chemotherapy with epirubicin at the dose of 80 mg diluted in 60 ml of saline solution. When histology w…

Preliminary report of a multicentric study on environmental risk factors in Ta-T1 transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder

2006

<i>Objective:</i> The distribution of potential environmental risk factors among patients affected by superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (TCCB) has been analyzed. <i>Methods:</i> Patients affected by superficial TCCB underwent TUR and early intravesical chemotherapy. Detailed data about age, sex, residence, employment, active and passive cigarette smoking, water resource and hair dye use were centralized. Analysis has been conducted on 474 patients affected by Ta-T1 G1-2 TCCB at medium risk for recurrence. Patients with primary single Ta G1-2, Tis or T1G3 tumors were excluded from the present analysis. <i>Results:</i> Over 80% of the p…

SCOPO DEL LAVORO: Malgrado l’efficacia della chemioterapia endovescicale eseguita precocemente dopo la resezione endoscopica di uroteliomi vescicali NMI sia stata confermata da numerosi studi multicentrici, ancora dubbio rimane il ruolo di un ulteriore schema terapeutico di mantenimento nel potenziarne l’efficacia. Ciò rimane ancora più incerto se alla singola instillazione segue un ciclo di instillazioni settimanali. Scopo dello studio è stato valutare l’utilità di uno schema di mantenimento mensile per un anno rispetto alla sola induzione settimanale per 6 settimane in pazienti sottoposti a TUR e chemioprofilassi precoce con epirubicina. MATERIALI E METODI: Sono stati randomizzati 577 paz…

Distribution of smoking, water resource and other environmental factors in patients affected by superficial bladder cancer

2004

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: The pathogenetic role cancer of sigarette smoking and employment in bladder has been studied, however, that of other environmental factors is not well defined. Case-control studies require high numbers and are expensive. As a preliminary approach to larger case-control studies, the distribution of potential risk factors coming from environmental pollution among patients affected by superficial bladder cancer (TCCB) has been prospectively analized.
