Abstrakt: Three patients with interstitial cystitis diagnosed on the basis of clinical symptoms, classic endoscopic findings, and a typical histologic picture were treated with intravesical doxorubicin. All 3 patients showed remarkable improvement, as manifested by complete clearance of irritative bladder symptoms and healing of ulceration. Doxorubicin therefore may be the breakthrough drug for interstitial cystitis.
