Abstract
Patients (8) with rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder and prostate who underwent a radical extirpative operation, chemotherapy [vincristine, actinomycin, cyclophosphamide, adriamycin] and radiotherapy or biopsy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy were compared. The excellent survival in the former and the uniformly fatal outcome in the latter suggest that chemotherapy and radiotherapy are not substitutes for a radical extirpative operation. Proper care of patients includes all 3 modalities.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
