Curcumin as Treatment for Bladder Cancer: A Preclinical Study of Cyclodextrin-Curcumin Complex and BCG as Intravesical Treatment in an Orthotopic Bladder Cancer Rat Model

Figure 1

Relative cell survival of four human urothelial carcinoma cell lines and one rat urothelial carcinoma cell line (AY27) after 1 hour of treatment with cyclodextrin-curcumin (CDC). Cell viability is relative to untreated cells. The MTT cell survival assay was performed 24 hours (a) and 72 hours (b) after treatment. Error bars represent standard error of the mean (SEM). Tests were performed in quadruplicate.
