Abstract
Cis-platinum as single agent therapy was investigated in 8 patients with stage D transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Dramatic responses were obtained in some patients and the quality of life was improved for as long as 8 months but no cures were obtained. Also noted was an occasional marked loss of renal function as measured by creatinine clearance despite a carefully managed protocol to avert this known side effect of cis-platinum (nephrotoxicity). No auditory problems were noted in these 8 patients.
