Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Infusing chemotherapy drugs directly into the bladder may kill more
cancer cells. It is not yet known if surgery followed by chemotherapy is more effective than
chemotherapy alone in treating bladder cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy alone with
that of transurethral resection followed by chemotherapy in treating patients who have
bladder cancer.
Phase:
Phase 3
