Intravesical chemotherapy after transurethral resection of a bladdertumour (TURBT) has been observed to significantly decreaserecurrence rates compared to TURBT alone. Though immediatepostoperative intravesical treatment with chemotherapeutic agentsafter transurethral resection for superficial bladder carcinoma isgenerally considered a safe and effective adjunctive therapy indecreasing recurrence rates, its instillation is not always completelyinnocuous. Lately, a more serious complication of bladderperforation associated with immediate instillation of intravesicalmitomycin C (MMC) after TURBT was reported. We reportour own experience of a male patient with bladder perforationafter an early instillation of a single dose of MMC. In this case,systemic toxicity occurred which required intensive care aftersurgical repair.

Purpose: We reviewed the literatures to see history, regimen of BCG and how BCG become a standard therapy for bladder carcinoma.Materials and Methods: We reviewed the previous literature describing the bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine as an anticancer agent and its success as the most effective immunotherapy used against human bladder cancer and its adverse effects.Results: The association between tuberculosis and carcinoma is well established, It demonstrate that Bacillus Calmette-Guerin have immunological reactivity, inhibiting the tumor growth and progression in experimental animal models, led to clinical trials showing that intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin eradicate and prevent recurrence and progression of superficial bladder carcinoma The exact mechanism of action of intravesical BCG instillation is still under investigation. However, it appears that BCG is mediated by the local immune response, mainly through T-helper cell response. It reduces the recurrence rate by an average of 40% and progression by more than 20% in papillary tumors, Carcinoma-in-situ over the patients without BCG therapy.Conclusions: For the last 45 yrs Bacillus Calmette- Guerin therapy has remained first line intravesical immunotherapy for superficial bladder cancer, an outstanding example of successful immunotherapy.KYAMC Journal Vol. 8, No.-1, Jul 2017, Page 56-60

e16087 Background: Systemic intravenous gemcitabine is usually used in advanced bladder carcinoma, intravesical G is a novel treatment approach for TCC. In this study we evaluate the efficacy of intravesical Gemcitabine in patients (pts) with superficial bladder carcinoma. Methods: From February 2003 to June 2004, 60 pts (57M/3F) were enrolled in the study (M/F = 57/3). The median age was 59,5 years old (24–84). Nine pts had a carcinoma in situ (Cis) and 51 had pT1 lesions. Three weeks after a total transurethral resection (TUR), patients receive intravesical instillation of 2000 mg G every week for 6 weeks, than every month for six months. They received a total of 720 instillations, Follow up was with cystoscopy and urine cytology every six months. Results: At a median follow-up time 60 months, all patients were evaluable for tumor response: 23(38, 3%) patient had a persistant complete remission after treatment, 26 patients (43,3%) had a superficial relapse of TCC, six patients (10%) had progressive disease: four with muscle invasion and two with distant metastasis. Conclusions: Intravesical therapy with gemcitabine is active and well tolerated treatment in patients with superficial TCC carcinoma of the bladder. A phase III trial comparing GEM with intravesical BCG or MMC is warranted No significant financial relationships to disclose.
