A clinical study of the adverse effects induced by the endocrine therapy with a high dose of estrogen in 45 patients with stage C or D prostatic carcinoma is conducted. Transient decreases of hemoglobin and serum protein values were observed after administration of estrogen. The levels of glutamine-oxaloacetic and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase showed a transient increase. The value of serum total cholesterol and electrolytes showed no changes. Serial evaluations of electrocardiograms have played a minor role in the observation of cardiovascular disease. Up to date we have not experienced cardiovascular death in our cases during the endocrine therapy.

A follow-up study was made on 225 Japanese patients with superficial bladder tumors who were treated postoperatively with intravesical instillation of cytosine arabinoside and mitomycin C nineteen times during one year. Cumulative recurrence rates of the tumor were 16.7 and 41.9 per cent during the first 1 and 3.5 years after surgery, respectively. These results are superior to the previous findings in cases in which instillation therapy was not given. Histologically, there was no definite difference in recurrence among the groups with low-grade and high-grade tumors. The recurrence rate of multiple tumors was higher than that of a solitary tumor. Earlier postoperative instillation appeared to be more effective during the initial one year after surgery.
