Thirty-four patients with tumors of the bladder were, after prior tumor surgery, treated with topical doxorubicin. Owing to undesired side effects, it was possible to adhere to the treatment regime in only 30 of the patients. Over an average observation period of 18 months, the number of recurrent lesions had diminished; the number of tumor-free patients at the time of evaluation was high. In view of these results, the question may be asked: could this form of treatment possibly be a suitable alternative to cystectomy, which has such a negative effect on the patient's quality of life? The answer can be given only on the basis of further prospective studies.
34例膀胱肿瘤患者在先前的肿瘤手术后接受了局部阿霉素治疗。由于出现了不良副作用，只有30例患者能够坚持治疗方案。在平均18个月的观察期内，复发病变的数量有所减少；评估时无肿瘤患者的数量很多。鉴于这些结果，可能会提出这样一个问题：这种治疗方式能否成为对患者生活质量有如此负面影响的膀胱切除术的合适替代方案？只有在进一步的前瞻性研究基础上才能给出答案。
