Summary

Hypothesis: In selected patients external hyperthermia will be used in combination with intravesical Mitomycin-C (MMC) to treat recurrent transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder after local resection and standard adjuvant therapy and thus prevent or delay recurrence and the need for radical cystectomy.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Non-muscle invasive transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder (Ta, T1, Tis) recurrent after initial surgery and at least one round of adjuvant treatment (i.e. 6 weeks of intravesical biological therapy with Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) solution); or
  • An inability to tolerate BCG
  • Age > 18
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG) Performance Status 0-2

  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 gm/dL, Total bilirubin ≤ institution upper limit of normal *(ULN), Asparate Aminotransferase(AST) and Alanine Aminotransferase(ALT) ≤ 2.5 times ULN, Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 times ULN
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 times ULN
  • Women of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test
  • If post-menopausal - Amenorrhea for ≥ 12 months

Exclusion Criteria

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Muscle invasive disease (T2-T4)
  • Prior radiation to the pelvis
  • Peripheral neuropathy (any grade)
  • Thrombocytopenia, coagulation disorder or an increase in bleeding tendency due to other causes
