Toxicity and results of MVAC (methotrexate, vinblastine, adriamycin and cisplatin) chemotherapy in advanced urothelial carcinoma.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:The experience with MVAC (methotrexate, vinblastine, Adriamycin and cisplatin) chemotherapy in advanced urothelial cancer is reviewed with emphasis on toxicity and efficacy. METHODS:We report on 28 patients with advanced, progressive transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder (27) or ureter (1), treated with MVAC. RESULTS:The average number of cycles was 4.5. Leucopenia was the most frequent and severe side effect (18% WHO grade I, 46% GII, 19% GII and 4% GIV). Other side effects were acceptable and could be treated successfully. One patient (complete responder) died of a toxic cause (sepsis), a second patient (partial responder) died of an intestinal bleeding (not drug- or cancer-related). Complete response was seen in 10 patients (36%), partial response and stable disease in 4 patients each (14%), progression in 8 patients (29%), and 2 patients were not evaluable for response. However, relapses were frequent (8 of 12 remaining responders, 66%). Median survival of the whole group was 9 months (0-52), without a significant difference for responders and nonresponders (p = 0.29). CONCLUSION:Our results are comparable to data from the literature with regard to efficacy and toxicity, although detailed toxicity data are unfortunately not always available.
