[Recurrence prevention of papillomas of the bladder using lycurim instillation].

Abstract

Following surgical removal of papillary tumours of the bladder from 60 patients the authors performed short instillations of the bladder with LYCURIM. The histological picture revealed tumours in the stage O-A-B1 and grade I-II-III. In a control group (n = 129) 89 recidive cases were observed in 2 years. Out of the 60 patients of the LYCURIM group 19 (31.7%) were free of tumours for 2 years and 43 (71.7%) for 11/2 years. A transient cystitis which occurred with short application of the medicament was easily cured. Toxic effects on the blood picture were not observed.
