Abstract
-
Patients with advanced carcinoma of the bladder that relapses or persists after conventional therapy have a poor prognosis. The management of the patient with recurrent local or disseminated bladder cancer presents a difficult clinical problem. In l985, Sternberg et al reported 7l% significant tumor regression and 50% complete clinical remission with M-VAC(Methotrexate, Vinblastin, Adriamycin and Cisplatin) combination chemotherapy for treatment of advanced bladder carcinoma Herein, we report 4 cases of M-VAC combination chemotherapy in far advanced bladder carcinoma with had measurable metastatic lesions enough to evaluate the objective response of chemotherapy.
