Abstract
In a prospective controlled study the influence of long-term mitomycin C instillation therapy on tumor recurrence, progression and patient survival after transurethral resection of superficial bladder tumors was evaluated. This report is an update of a randomized controlled study that was stopped 1.5 years ago. The results show that long-term mitomycin C instillation therapy improves recurrence rate, progression rate and survival in patients with superficial bladder cancer.Keywords
