The prophylactic effects of Chinese herbal medicine Zhuling (Grifola umbellata pilat) and BCG on
bladder cancer after TURBT and partial cystectomy were evaluated. 146 patients with bladder
cancer were divided into 3 groups, Zhuling, BCG, and control group. Follow-up for 48-124
months (average 70.8 months) showed that the tumor recurrence rate was 33.3%, 34.3% and
65.1%, respectively. Compared to the control group, the recurrence rate of Zhuling group and
BCG group was significantly decreased (P < 0.01). The effect of Zhuling was similar to that
intravesical BCG. Zhuling was cheaper and convenient in usage, and no side effects.
