silla,
¿le recomiendan intento otro redondo del mitomycin? O son que van a recomendar BCG para usted. ¿Usted está entrando para otro TURB es ése a la derecha? sepamos los informes de la patología cuando usted los consigue.

Are you sure my name wasn't on there Jack??? :laugh:
I remember some...oh maybe 5,6 yrs ago we had a lengthy discussion on "watchful waiting". While it is legit..my arguement was .so what if you've got a dufus for a uro? Watch and wait it become invasive!!...I think this can be done if you're being followed by a top cancer center and a top uro/surgeon but with pathology being underestimated about 50% of the time.....ouch...thats the latest figure out. Someone is always going to be outside the perimeters of percentages...i happen to be one of them but i think my surgeons had an alful lot to do with that..in fact i know that.
I do think that the research done in bladder cancer though not fully funded is moving forward and by some pretty dedicated people..you'd have to be. And i see a bazillion dollars going to breast cancer and we're dropping like flies.....so much for dollars going for the cure. I'm not bitter.... :S well..maybe a bit.
xxoo Pat

Thanks everyone. Pat my statement was not directed at you dear.
I made that statement because the medical community really does not know what works for TA low grade. So few studies and the few studies that have been done are never conclusive, because the population studied was so few. The easy way out is always just cystos and turbts and say bladder cancer has a high recurrence rate for low grade. Would be nice to really see some real research in this area. Just another reason I get so pissed off on how few research dollars are spent on bladder cancer in general.
