Abstract
52 patients with advanced bladder cancer, no longer controlled by conventional therapy, have been treated by combination chemotherapy with Adriamycin and 5-fluorouracil. The objective remission rate has been 40%. The morbidity of the chemotherapy has not been excessive. The response has not been related to the histological grade of the primary tumour and previous treatment. Patients with a good performance status (Karnofsky index) have responded better than those with a poor performance status.
