Simultaneous urinary flow cytometry, cytologic, and cystoscopic examinations were performed at 3-month intervals for a minimum of 1 year on 29 patients receiving intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) treatment of superficial bladder carcinoma. Flow cytometry (FCM) and cytology were concordant

✦ Synopsis
Recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with bladder cancer include flow cytometry , intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), and systemic chemotherapy. Once the subjects of clinical research protocols, these modalities are currently being incorporated into the general management of patients with bladder cancer. Flow cytometry , intravesical BCG, and systemic chemotherapy will be individually reviewed and their role in the management of patients with bladder cancer will be discussed.

Background. The selection of the most appropriate antineoplastic agent and optimal treatment schedule for the prophylaxis of superficial bladder cancer against tumor recurrences is the subject of continual investigations. Methods. A controlled prospective trial involving 161 patients evaluated and
## Abstract Molecular markers reliably predicting failure or success of Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin (BCG) in the treatment of nonmuscle‐invasive urothelial bladder cancer (NMIBC) are lacking. The aim of our study was to evaluate the value of cytology and chromosomal aberrations detected by fluorescenc
