Popis: The results of a double blind prospective study comparing the chemoprophylactic effects of adriamycin and mitomycin C and two modes of instillation (early: 6 hours following transurethral resection; late: 7-14 days later) for superficial carcinoma of the bladder are presented herein. Since the minimum follow up is over 5 years, the effects on tumor progression and mortality achieved by each of the 4 arms of the protocol were also evaluated. Concerning tumor recurrence, early instillation of mitomycin and overall early instillation therapy achieved significantly better results (p0.01). No differences, however, were observed relative to tumor progression or mortality.
