Abstract

To evaluate retrospectively the clinical staging in a consecutive series of patients selected for cystectomy and to define its limitations with a view to possible improvements. From 1979 to 1988, 276 patients with newly detected or recurring transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder, were offered pre-operative irradiation (20 Gy) and cystectomy. The patients were assessed during 1995 and the outcome related to both clinical and surgical data. Survival was analysed on the basis of 'intention to treat'. Estimates of survival probabilities were calculated by the method of Kaplan and Meier. Differences in survival among subgroups were assessed using the log rank test and Cox stepwise regression analysis. Cancer-specific actuarial survival for the whole series was 68% at 5 years and 63% at 10 years. Survival was closely related to the depth of invasion found at surgery, clearly discriminating those with tumours confined to the bladder wall (< or = P3A) from those with extravesical extension (> or = P3B). The cancer-specific survival at 5 years for patients with < or = P3A tumours was 85% and for those with > or = P3B tumours was 50%. This important distinction was anticipated accurately using bimanual palpation before surgery...Continue Reading
