Abstract:
From January 1980 to December 1989, 172 patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder treated by transurethral resection (TUR) or total cystectomy with urinary diversion were analyzed retrospectively. Fifty-six patients underwent total cystectomy with urinary diversion and 116 underwent TUR. The 5-year survival rates in a total of 172 patients were noted in 96.6, 48.6, 32.7, 30.6 and 44.1% or those with stage Ta-1, T2, T3a, T3b and T4 disease, respectively and in 94.7, 87.9 and 52.1% of those with grade 1, 2 and 3 disease, respectively. The 5-year survival rates in 56 total cystectomy patients were noted in 94.1, 80.0. 31.0 and 28.6% of those with stage Tis-1, T2, T3a and T3b-4 disease, respectively and in 75.0, 80.0 and 45.3% or those with grades 1, 2 and 3 disease, respectively. The 3-year recurrence rates in 116 TUR patients were noted in 14.3, 43.1 and 55.9% of those with grade 1, 2 and 3 disease, respectively. Stage and grade were the most important prognostic factors in survival for cystectomy and tumor recurrence in TUR patients, respectively.
