Tween 80 was shown to enhance significantly the cytotoxic activities of the four drugs (adriamycin, epodyl, mitomycin-c, thiotepa) most frequently administered intravesically to treat superficial bladder cancer. The colony forming ability of a human bladder cancer cell line, RT112, was measured foll
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) exerts a number of biological effects, the most frequently cited being induction of cell differentiation. The compound also increases invasiveness and metastatic potential. In contrast to the many reports of DMSO-induced cell differentiation, we report here that DMSO inhibi
The relative importance of two variables, drug concentration and period of exposure, in relation to the therapeutic potential of intravesical chemotherapy was examined in an experimental system. A human bladder cancer cell line was exposed to a range of concentrations of the four drugs commonly used
There is evidence that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) can increase the anticancer activity of chemotherapeutic drugs. As DMSO is instilled into the bladder for interstitial cystitis, it could be readily adopted in clinical practice if it was found to enhance the effectiveness of the drugs used for intrav
