Significant Difference

The efficacy and local toxicity of the intravesical combination of microwave-induced hyperthermia with a cytostatic agent in patients affected by superficial bladder cancer is presented. Between 1994 and 2002, two studies were performed on ablative and adjuvant intravesical thermo-chemotherapy. The ablative study demonstrated complete tumor eradication in 88% of patients who should have undergone cystectomy due to diffuse multiple papillary tumors non-responsive TUR and intravescical adjuvant therapy. In a randomized study, comparing adjuvant thermo-chemotherapy vs. standard chemotherapy with mitomycin C, recurrence-free survival analysis at 24 months revealed a significant difference in favor of thermo-chemotherapy. Our preliminary experience confirmed that local side effects, mainly cystitis, suprapubic pain and thermal reaction of the posterior bladder wall, were transitory and did not require treatment interruption.
