MANAGEMENT OF BLADDER CA
¢ Cystoscopy and biopsy:ó See lesionsó Biopsy and muscle should be includedó We will reach to a conclusion:ó MUSCLE IS INVADED OR NOT
¢ Not invaded àTURB¢ Upper UT imaging¢ CT if sessile or high grade T is suspected
¢ Invaded à CT: ¢ LN small (negative): T2,T3, T4a: cyatectomy¢ LN large: biopsy: negativeó Positive:

INTRAVESICAL CHMOTHERAPY
¢ Drugsó Chemotherapy
¢ Alkylating agents: thiotepa, mitomycin C (40mg in 20 cc stWater),
¢ Anthracyclines: doxorubicin (50 mg in 25 cc St water), epirubicin, valrubicin
¢ Value:ó Acts by diffusionó Prevent seeding and Reduce recurrence by 6%ó No reduction in disease progression or mortalityó Within 6 Hrs post TUR, Not if extensive TURB or
perforationó Overnight fast, empty bladder beforeó Keep for .5 hr (post TUR) or 2Hrs, supine and prone (air
bubble) ó Alkalanize urine with mitomycin
INTRAVESICLA IMMUNOTHERAPY
ó Immunotherapy¢ BCG (81 mg for TheraCys and 50 mg for TICE, both in 50 cc
physiologic saline)ó Value:
¢ Acts by enhancing immune response, drawing lymphocytes and macrophages to the bladder and stimulating a cellular (TH1) immune response
¢ Not immediate (at least 1-2 wks post TUR)¢ Weekly x 6 w¢ Maintenance ¢ (3 app x q 3ms)¢ 3 weekly at 2, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 ms XXXX?¢ NOT WITH CIPRO
