Abstract:
Objective :To evaluate and optimize synthesizing regimen for postoperative bladder cancer.
Methods :One hundred and thirty-four patients were treated with intravesical chemotherapy alone,106 with intravesical chemotherapy plus hyperthermia,176 with intravesical chemotherapy and radiotherapy post-operatively.The intravesical chemotherapy was given 3 weeks after operation,with thio-TEPA 50~60mg/fraction,using 6 to 8 fractions.For radiotherapy,8,10 or 18 MY X-ray was given with total dose of 30~60Gy.Hyperthermia was performed in 1 hour, with intravesical chemotherapy,and each fraction costed about 30 or 40 min.
Results :The 5,10 and 15-year survival rate for group A,B abd C were 58.2%,58.5W and 72.7%(A),26.9%,27.4W and 44.9% (B),and 5.9%,8.2W and 18.4W (C),respectively.There was significant difference between T
1 and T
2/T
3 stages at each group,
P<0.05.The rate of preserving bladder in group A,B and C for 5,10 and 15 years were 53.8%,69.4%,and 81.3%(A),19.4%,24.1% and 51.9%(B),0,0 and 37.5%(C),respectively.
Conclusion :The intravesical chemotherapy and radiotherapy for postoperative bladder cancer patients can enhance local control rate,dicrease recurrent rate in pelvic,raise the rate of preversing bladder and improve the long-term survival.
