A retrospective study was performed to determine the efficacy of intravesical instillation of epirubicin in the prophylactic treatment for recurrent superficial bladder cancer when compared with no treatment controls. Seventeen patients with recurrent superficial bladder cancer received epirubicin (30 mg/40 ml in normal saline) seventeen times after transurethral resection (TUR). Historical controls consist of sixteen patients with recurrent superficial bladder cancer who received no adjuvant treatment after TUR. In the epirubicin group, 1-, 2- and 3-year recurrence free rates were 64.7%, 41.2% and 5.9%, respectively. In controls all of them recurred and 1- and 2-year recurrence free rates were 17.6% and 0%, respectively. The recurrence-free rate was significantly higher in the epirubicin group than in the controls (p < 0.05). We investigated whether intravesical instillation of epirubicin prolonged recurrence-free intervals when compared with recurrence-free intervals without adjuvant treatment after TUR in each patient. The 1- and 2-year recurrence free rates after initial TUR were 25% and 12.5%, respectively, and those with epirubicin treatment after TUR were 62.5% and 37.5%, respectively. Recurrence-free intervals were significantly prolonged by intravesical instillation of epirubicin as compared with those without adjuvant treatment in each patient. This study demonstrated the efficacy of intravesical instillation of epirubicin in the prophylactic treatment for superficial recurrent bladder cancer. 相似文献

PURPOSE: We evaluated the long-term efficacy of a single dose of interferon or epirubicin administered immediately after transurethral resection compared with transurethral resection alone for primary superficial bladder cancer recurrence. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 200 patients with primary superficial stages Ta to T1, grades 1 to 3 bladder cancer were randomized into 3 treatment groups, including transurethral resection alone, transurethral resection plus 50 milliunits interferon-alpha2b and transurethral resection plus 100 mg. epirubicin. The primary end point was time to first recurrence. RESULTS: At a median followup of 72 months we observed a sustained effect of a single epirubicin instillation compared with other treatments. To date only 46% of the patients in group 3 have experienced recurrence in contrast to 73% and 68% in groups 1 and 2, respectively (p = 0.002). At 72 months the Kaplan-Meier disease-free estimates were 24%, 31% and 51% in groups 1 to 3, respectively (p = 0.002). The Cox multivariate model revealed a more than 2-fold relative risk of recurrence in group 1 versus group 3 (p <0.001). Other significant variables predicting recurrence were grade and the number of tumors. CONCLUSIONS: A single perioperative instillation of 100 mg. epirubicin causes a significant and sustained decrease in primary superficial bladder cancer recurrence, whereas a single dose of 50 milliunits interferon-alpha2b is ineffective for prophylaxis. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: T1G3 superficial bladder cancer is considered to be at high risk for progression, and in some institutions early cystectomy is advocated. Other authors and personal experience suggest that conservative treatment, such as TURBT followed by intravesical prophylaxis, may be adequate in the majority of cases. The purpose of the present phase II study was to assess the tolerability and efficacy of sequential intravesical administration of a chemotherapeutic agent, epirubicin, followed by BCG, after TURBT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 81 patients with primary T1G3 superficial bladder cancer, without evidence of Tis or upper tract tumor, underwent TURBT and intravesical prophylaxis with weekly epirubicin 50 mg for 8 weeks followed by weekly BCG Connaught 120 mg for 6 weeks. A control cystoscopy with bladder mapping and/or TUR of suspicious areas was performed at 15-17 weeks. Then patients were followed-up with 3-month urinary cytology and cystoscopy. RESULTS: The sequential chemo-immunoprophylaxis was generally well tolerated. After a mean follow-up of 48 months recurrent tumors were found in 19 patients (23.4%) and progressive disease in 6 cases (7.4%). Of 6 progressions, 4 patients died (5%) of the disease. CONCLUSION: Sequential chemo-immunoprophylaxis with epirubicin followed by BCG is well tolerated and seems to be efficacious in primary T1G3 bladder cancer. The recurrence progression and disease-specific mortality rates were acceptable so that this study seems to confirm previous data which show that TURBT and intravesical prophylaxis are appropriate treatment for the majority T1G3 tumors. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The aims of the present study were to examine the effects of intravesical instillation of epirubicin on tumor recurrence and to identify tumors that are at a high risk of recurrence. METHODS: Forty-five patients with primary superficial bladder cancer were treated with prophylactic intravesical epirubicin following transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TUR-BT). Epirubicin (20 mg) was administered intravesically every second week for 4 months and then once a month or every 2 weeks for next 8 months. Patients were analyzed with respect to prognostic factors related to tumor recurrence. RESULTS: The overall recurrence-free rate, calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, was 76.1 and 52.3% at 2 and 5 years after operation, respectively. These results were better than those reported for patients treated with TUR-BT alone. A univariate analysis demonstrated that high-grade, T1, sessile, large (> or = 2 cm) and multiple tumors were a significantly high risk for recurrence. A multivariate analysis performed by using the Cox proportional hazard model with stepwise selection showed that morphologic features (pedunculated or sessile) were the most prognostic factors for recurrence. This was followed by age and tumor size. The remaining four factors were not found to contribute significantly to recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Epirubicin appears to be effective in preventing the recurrence of superficial bladder cancer. Morphologic features, patient age and size of the tumor were considered independent risk factors. The risk of recurrence for each tumor should be taken into consideration when the intravesical adjuvant therapy protocol is being selected. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The short-term effects of intravesical chemoimmunotherapy with epirubicin and bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) administered repeatedly for prophylaxis of recurrence of superficial bladder cancer (pTa, pT1) were investigated in 24 patients aged a median of 70 years between March 1996 and February 1999, and were compared with those of BCG monotherapy in 50 patients from March 1990 to February 1999. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The patients underwent intravesical instillation of the Tokyo strain BCG with or without epirubicin after transurethral resection (TUR) of bladder cancer. For the combined treatment, at 1-2 weeks after TUR, epirubicin (40 mg) and BCG (80 mg) were istilled into the bladder by turns once a week for 12 weeks. For the group receiving only BCG, 80-mg instillations were done with the same schedule. Thereafter, the patients were followed by cystoscopy and urinary cytology every 3 months for up to 3 years after intravesical therapy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: At 2 years after treatment, the simple recurrence rate was 26.1% (6/23) in patients with chemoimmunotherapy and 32.0% (16/50) in BCG-treated patients. Adverse reactions, including increased frequency of urination, urgency and miction pain, were observed in 18 patients (85.7%) undergoing chemoimmunotherapy and 58.0% undergoing BCG monotherapy. One patient receiving chemoimmunotherapy was withdrawn from treatment because of symptoms of severe bladder irritation due to the instillation. Intravesical chemoimmunotherapy using epirubicin and BCG was finally found to be inferior in comparison with BCG monotherapy for the prophylaxis of recurrence of superficial bladder cancer. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To prospectively compare the prevention of tumour recurrence by four intravesical adjuvant administration protocols, and thus elucidate the efficacy of early and high total dose instillations of epirubicin to prevent superficial bladder tumour recurrence after transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: In all, 69 patients with Ta/T1 bladder cancer were randomly assigned to four intravesical administration protocols: A, delayed instillation (first instillation 7 days after TURBT) and low-dose (30 mg once every 2 weeks, six times): B, early instillation (three instillations before 7 days after TURBT) and low-dose; C, delayed and high-dose (30 mg once weekly 12 times) instillation; D, early and high-dose. The influence of the instillation protocols and tumour characteristics on the probability of recurrence-free survival was examined using Kaplan-Meier analysis and a Cox regression hazard model. RESULTS: The early-instillation and high-dose groups had relatively lower recurrence rates after 6 months (A, 30%; B, 25%; C, one of 12; and D, none) and 1 year (50%, 35%, four of nine and one of eight, respectively). Patients who received 360 mg epirubicin (C and D) had a significantly better recurrence-free survival than those receiving 180 mg (A and B; P = 0.012). Preoperative urine cytology and tumour multiplicity were significantly associated with recurrence. However, multivariate analysis of the risk of recurrence using a Cox proportional hazard model showed that urine cytology (hazard ratio 3.11, 95% confidence interval 1.08-8.94, P = 0.04) and total dose (0.32, 0.11-0.92, P = 0.03) were independent prognostic factors for recurrence. CONCLUSION: Patients who received a high-dose epirubicin instillation had a significantly lower recurrence rate but the benefit of early instillation was not confirmed, as the study group was too small. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: Intravesical epirubicin is a widely used agent for the treatment of superficial bladder cancer. A direct relationship between dose and activity has been reported: unfortunately the dose increase also increased the frequency and the intensity of treatment-related side effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A phase 2 trial was designed to evaluate the toxicity and the activity of a delayed (biweekly) high-dose (80 mg) epirubicin therapy of superficial bladder cancer. Thirty patients with intermediate risk superficial bladder cancer (stage mTa, G2) have been treated with transurethral resection and epirubicin intravesical therapy: the patients were given 80 mg epirubicin in 50 ml sterile saline every 2 weeks for 6 times (delayed regimen). The follow-up ranged from 3 to 26 months. Eleven of 30 (37%) patients experienced a local adverse reaction to intravesical epirubicin requiring specific medication (grade > or = 2 according to NCI-CTC v.2.0, 1999). No systemic toxicity related to the treatment was observed. RESULTS: Out of the 29 evaluable patients, 22 (76%) were free of disease after the induction course, 6 (21%) had superficial bladder cancer recurrences and 1 (3%) experienced tumor progression. CONCLUSION: A delayed (biweekly instillation) high-dose (80 mg) intravesical epirubicin regimen was acceptable in terms of side effects and showed a worthwhile therapeutical impact in patients with intermediate risk superficial bladder cancer. 相似文献
