At the end of the study, 109 patients (55 in MMC and 54 in GEM) were assessable. The median duration of follow-up was 36 months for either arm. In the GEM arm, 39 (72%) of 54 patients remained free of recurrence versus 33 (61%) of 55 in MMC arm. Among patients with recurrences, 10 in the MMC arm and six in the GEM arm also had a progressive disease by stage. The incidence of chemical cystitis in the MMC arm was statistically higher than in the GEM arm (P = .012).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study demonstrates that GEM has better efficacy and lower toxicity than MMC; therefore, GEM appears as a logical candidate for intrabladder therapy in patients with refractory transitional cancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1200\/jco.2008.20.8199","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,19]],"date-time":"2009-10-19T21:47:43Z","timestamp":1255988863000},"page":"543-548","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":155,"title":["Randomized Phase III Trial on Gemcitabine Versus Mytomicin in Recurrent Superficial Bladder Cancer: Evaluation of Efficacy and Tolerance"],"prefix":"10.1200","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Raffaele","family":"Addeo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Oncologica Operative Unit \u201cS.
