We report on our experience with 21 patients with superficial bladder cancer who were treated with intravesical BCG instillation. The BCG vaccine was effective in the treatment of carcinoma in situ. Tumor regression was achieved in 83.3% at 3 months, and 61.1% at 24 months. It is advisable to follow patients closely because of the possibility of tumor progression.
