Randomized post TUR No further treatment Or: 1 instillation of Mitomycin-C post TUR Or: above plus instillations q3mo. for one year No conclusive benefit to long term over single instillation Tolley DA, J Urol 1996; 155: Single Post-op Chemotherapy Reduces Tumor Recurrence Meta Analysis of Randomized Trials 7 trials, 1476 patients, median follow 3.4 years (max 14.5) Recurrence: reduce from 362/748 (48.4%) with TUR to 267/728 (36.7%) with one postop dose of chemo 39% reduction in the odds of recurrence with chemotherapy (OR = 0.61, P<0.0001) 65.2% with multiple tumors recurred vs 35.8% with single tumors Sylvester R.
