Primary Endpoint
To evaluate pathological complete response rate achieved by 6 week neoadjuvant intravesical administration of Gemcitabine followed by transurethral resection (TUR) or cold biopsies, in patients affected by low risk superficial bladder cancer .

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether neoadjuvant intravesical Gemcitabine is enough active in patients with a solitary, low risk superficial bladder cancer.After diagnostic urethrocystoscopy or bladder sonography, all patients will receive intravesical gemcitabine once a week during 6 weeks. Two weeks after finishing antiblastic therapy, all patients will be submitted to a new cystoscopy, with TUR or cold biopsies of the site of the initial lesion.

  • •Transitional carcinoma of the upper urinary tract and prostatic urethra.
  • •Any previous or concomitant malignancy other than superficial bladder cancer with the exception of cutaneous basalioma and/or cancer of the cervix, adequately treated.
