| Research Abstract |
The aim of the study is to show the clinical usefulness of a chemosensitivity assay using a new primary culture system with spheroids on the bladder cancer. On muscle-invasive bladder cancer, this chemosensitivity assay may predict the effect of systemic chemotherapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine. We tried to identify a marker to predict the effect of intravesical chemotherapy immediate after transurethral resection of the bladder cancer. However, we have not found it yet.
