[Treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder without radical surgery]

Authors present two cases of rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder treated previously to surgery with chemotherapy (protocol T-2) and radiation therapy. In one of these patients surgery consisted only in a partial cystectomy, and in the other only a few biopsies were taken from the most suspicious zones, and these were all negative. Three years and four months after diagnosis and 15 months after completion of treatment, both children are alive and free of detectable disease.
