Intravesical instillation therapy of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) has become a standard treatment for carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the urinary bladder. However, there have been few reports concerning the direct effect of BCG on existing tumors classified as Ta or T1. In the first stage of this clinical study, 157 patients were treated with BCG intravesical instillation (Tokyo 172 strain [BCG Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan]; 80 mg weekly for eight times) by our Study Group. The efficacy on existing tumors was a complete response (CR) rate of 84.4% and 66.4% and a partial response (PR) of 6.3% and 20.8% for 32 cases of CIS and 125 cases of Ta or T1 tumors, respectively.
