  • Title: [Systemic cisplatin-based chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced bladder cancer].
    Author: Boccon-Gibod L, Guinet F, Cressey-Kanoui C, Debré B, Steg A.
    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1985; 19(4):239-43. PubMed ID: 4040730.
    Abstract:
    Twenty one patients with advanced bladder cancer (metastases and/or loco-regional recurrences) were treated by cisplatin-based chemotherapy (cisplatin, adriamycin, cyclo-phosphamide (8 patients), cisplatin, methotrexate (8 patients) and cisplatin and radiotherapy (5 patients). The results with pure chemotherapy were, on the whole, disappointing, with a remission rate of 25% and a response rate of 50%. Only the combination of cisplatin-based chemotherapy and radiotherapy gave spectacular results with 50% complete response, but even then at the price of a high morbidity rate.
