We present a case of a 51-year-old gentleman, previously diagnosed with high-grade superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and treated with intravesical mitomycin C and BCG, who developed serial recurrences in the prostatic urethra. This was resected and treated further with intraurethral mitomycin-C gel. He subsequently developed an almost impassable distal penile urethral stricture, corresponding to the site of penile clamp application which we hypothesise is secondary to a combination of the mitomycin-C gel and penile clamp pressure.

This study summarizes the landmark study assessing the value of maintenance intravesical Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) to reduce the risk for recurrence or progression of high-grade superficial or carcinoma in situ (CIS) transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The trial randomized patients with completely resected noninvasive urothelial cell carcinoma at high risk of recurrence to BCG induction alone versus BCG induction plus maintenance therapy in the form of six weekly treatments. The study found that maintenance BCG reduces disease-specific recurrence and may also reduce the rate of disease progression.
