Histopathologic changes of transitional cell carcinoma of bladder after M-VAC chemotherapy.

Over the past several years, we have utilized methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (M-VAC) as definitive, neoadjuvant, and adjuvant therapy for various stages of transitional cell carcinoma with reduced toxicities. Currently, there is little information concerning the histopathologic changes after M-VAC therapy. We report on the histopathologic changes of bladder transitional cell carcinoma following M-VAC chemotherapy in our protocol for treatment of bladder cancer.
