abstract...
Twelve patients with metastatic transitional cell carcinoma
from the urinary bladder were treated with a combination
chemotherapy program consisting of cisplatinum,
cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin hydrochloride (CISCA). Ten
patients had conditions for which a response to therapy could
be determined, and nine achieved an objective response (one
complete response, eight partial responses). Two additional
patients with metastatic transitional cell carcinoma from the
renal pelvis were also treated, and one achieved a partial
response. In our experience, CISCA combination chemotherapy
has given the highest response rate of any protocol thus far
tested in advanced, metastatic urinary tract carcinoma.
