متن کاملTuberculous Spondylitis following Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin for Bladder Cancer
We present a rare case of tuberculous spondylitis following intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) therapy for bladder cancer. An 82-year-old man presented with low back pain. Past medical history revealed bladder cancer diagnosed and treated 16 months previously by intravesical BCG. Magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracic spine showed destruction of the T5 and T6 vertebrae and an epidu...
متن کامل[Intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy for superficial bladder cancer].
Intracavitary instillation of Tokyo 172 strain Bacillas Calmette-Guerin was performed on 39 patients with superficial bladder cancer after contact Nd:YAG laser irradiation for tumors. The BCG group received intravesical instillation of 80 mg BCG at two week intervals for 6 months. Recurrence occurred in 7 of the 39 patients. In the 7 recurrent cases instillation of BCG had been discontinued aft...
متن کاملCombination of Intravesical Chemotherapy and Bacillus Calmette–Guerin Versus Bacillus Calmette–Guerin Monotherapy in Intermediate- and High-risk Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder has become a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and health-related costs. There is still no standard instillation therapy against bladder cancer. A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of adding chemotherapy to Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) in intermediate- and high-risk nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).All randomized ...
متن کاملContemporary cost-effectiveness analysis comparing sequential bacillus Calmette-Guerin and electromotive mitomycin versus bacillus Calmette-Guerin alone for patients with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
BACKGROUND Sequential bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and electromotive mitomycin (sequential therapy) have been shown in a randomized prospective trial to be superior to therapy with BCG alone in patients with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The objective of the current study was to compare the costs and benefits of these 2 treatment strategies by performing a 5-year and 10-year c...
