The paper discusses the methods of complex treatment for invasive bladder cancer which includes radiation therapy, regional intraarterial chemotherapy with cisplatin drugs, selective hyperglycemia and local SHF-hyperthermia. Complete local response was reported in 18 (56%) out of 32 patients with stage II-IV tumors, partial--8 (25%), no response--6 (19%). The method appeared effective and safe; it offers good perspectives in bladder cancer treatment.
