Approaches to the treatment of bladder cancer at Stanford.

Abstract

The treatment of bladder cancer is one of the most active areas of clinical cancer research. The use of new classes of intravesical agents, such as the interferons, and analogues of effective intravesical chemotherapies, such as epirubicin, the 4-epimer of doxorubicin, show promise of controlling the sequela of this common urologic problem. In metastatic transitional cell carcinoma, the CMV regimen holds promise of palliation for many and or long-term remission for some patients with advanced bladder cancer.
