  • Title: [Intravesical BCG vaccine in bladder cancer].
    Author: Beisland HO, Sander S.
    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 1989 Jun 20; 109(17-18):1891-2. PubMed ID: 2749672.
    Abstract:
    We present a preliminary report on intravesical BCG instillation in four patients. The indications are prevention of new superficial tumors and treatment of carsinoma in situ. 120 mg Connaught BCG-vaccine in 50 cc saline is instillated weekly for a total of six treatments. Follow-up was performed every three months and included cystoscopy and urine cytology. The prophylactic effect is encouraging, even in patients who have previously not responded to intravesical chemotherapy. There were no serious complications and the common side effects of fever and dysuria did not delay or interrupt treatment.
