From April 1988 to June 1995, we performed microwave regional coagulation therapy (MRCT) with suspicious recurrent bladder tumors, immediately after bladder biopsy under epidural anesthesia 24 times in 17 outpatients. Of the 17 cases, both clinical and pathological examinations revealed that 14 cases were of recurrent, superficial bladder cancer. Tumors were completely eradicated both endoscopically and histologically in all patients. Four had a slight hematuria or lower abdominal pain after MRCT. These complications, however, improved in a few days after medication. Furthermore, the cost of outpatient MRCT was one third that of the transurethral resection of bladder tumor in hospital treatment, which required a 3 day admission. Outpatient MRCT could be one of several safe and useful treatments for patients with recurrent bladder cancer.
