Abstract: Objective To evaluate the prognostic factors affecting postoperative recurrence and progression in patients with superficial bladder transitional cell carcinoma(SBTCC). Methods From 2000 to 2004,150 patients with SBTCC were treated, of which 120 patients were followed up. The possible prognostic factors including clinical and pathological figures were analyzed by Cox's proportional hazard model in these patients. Results The mean fol-low-up period was 84.7 months. The recurrence rates at 3-year,5-year were 27.5% and 36.7% respectively. The main variables affecting recurrence were histological grades,tumor stage,tumor number and recurring tumor,and the first three were the independent risk factors. The progression rotes at 3-year,5-year were 9. 2% and 17.5%. The main variables affecting progression were histological grade,tumor stage, tumor number and recurring tumor, and the first one was the independent risk factor. Conclusion The main variables affecting progression were histological grade, tumor stage,tumor number and recurring tumor,and the first one were the independent risk factor.
