Conclusions GEM and THP as the adjuvant chemotherapy drugs after TURBT of superficial bladder cancer, has significant characteristic of curative effect does with small side effects to improve prognosis, decrease recurrence and the mortality rate, may become one of the important means to improve the postoperative curative effect.
