by breno0, Nov 24, 2006 12:00AM
A -- WOMAN 63 YEARS OLD
B.- CANCER IN BLADDER

C - RESUME OF HISTOPATHOLOGIC EXAMINATION:
-- (bladder)carcinoma urothelial cells high grade pappilary not invasive.
-- (tumor) several fragments/pieces of irregular tissue, "slightly grainy", firm and elastic color clear/brown, being the measure of the entirety/set 50x36x14mm.
D --TREATMENT/BCG DETAILS: instillation in the bladder for three weeks with a solution of 80 mg of BCG weekly during 45/60 minutes. Due to strong reactions(blood and colics)only used BCG on the 5th week ( two weeks interval) with only 40 mg ( treatment interrupted due to colics etc...)
FINAL WOULD THANKS FOR IDEAS/ORIENTATION/EXPERIENCES AND MODERN KNOWLEDGE, specially regarding:
Is it normal that 30 days after the final of BCG treatment there are still problems of blood in urine and colics???
