Abstract

After recalling the difficulty of comparing the various series published in the literature. in the absence of common histological criteria. the authors review the records of patients with a class III or IV carcinoma of the bladder. strictly confined to the musoca, whether or not the basal membrane was damaged (stage O or A), with the exclusion of all cases with histological invasion of the muscularis and any other clinical or radiological signs of deep infiltration: 135 records with a follow-up of at least 6 months. This study led to the following findings: - One third of the tumours progressed to deep infiltration and/or metastases. - This unfavourable course occurred. in almost 3/4 of cases. during the 2 years following the clinical presentation of the tumour. - Such a grave course may develop for tumours not affecting the basal membrane without it having always been possible to define the stage of infiltration of the chorion. - A metastasis may develop while the tumour remains superificial. - 5 out of these 135 patients developed 2 or more extra-urological carcinomas. - Two thirds of these superifical tumours did not invade the muscularis during the period of observation which in 41 cases exceeded 6 years. - The difficulty l...Continue Reading
