A four-year-old boy with stage IV neuroblastoma was treated using the group study protocol of the Tohoku area for advanced neuroblastoma, consisting of DTIC, CPA, VCR, CDDP and VM-26, as a result of which had obtained complete remission. However, he had severe hemorrhagic cystitis after administration of CPA. He was treated with the usual therapy, but symptoms such as hematuria, pollakiuria and miction pain were not improved. We then tried bladder irrigation with prostaglandin E2. Half a milligram of PGE2 in 100 ml of physiological saline solution was instilled into the bladder and left in situ for 3 hours. The patient was free of symptoms on the day following the therapy. Local therapy with PGE2 thus seems very useful for cyclophosphamide-induced cystitis.
