Recurrent transitional cell carcinoma was treated with prophylactic intravesical thio-tepa in 22 cases. Group 1 patients were treated with 30 mg. twice daily for the first 3 days postoperatively. Group 2 patients were given additional treatment at increasing intervals indefinitely. Before therapy control patients averaged 1 recurrence every 9.5 months. Group 1 patients averaged 1 recurrence per 33 mpnths. Group 2 patients averaged 1 recurrence per 41 months. Leukopenia occurred in only 2 patients. Thio-tepa can be given safely in the immediate postoperative period and is effective in decreasing the recurrence rate of superficial bladder tumors.
