Two patients in whom metastases from transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder have disappeared during chemotherapy which included cisplatin are described. Both patients have been free of tumour recurrence for over 12 months after chemotherapy was ceased. Side effects included peripheral neuropathy, but renal function was not impaired. Cisplatin can produce clinically valuable remissions in recurrent and metastatic bladder carcinoma.
