Abstract

This study was undertaken to determine the most effective treatment for improvement of the prognosis of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder (SCC).

While clarifying the clinical patterns of these cases, the association between stage, therapy, and prognosis was studied. Of the cases of invasive SCC reported in Japan in the recent 20 years, 54 cases in which the stage, therapy, and prognosis were documented were selected, and the association between the therapy and outcome in each stage was studied. In our series, 11 cases are alive without cancer for over 2 years. Of the above patients, 7 underwent cystectomy. Cancer death was experienced in 7 patients. Of these patients, 3 underwent cystectomy, and 6 were classified as stage III or higher. As far as our study of the cases reported in Japan is concerned, the prognosis of the cases having undergone TUR or partial resection of the bladder alone was poor. But, even if patients underwent cystectomy, most of the patients was cancer death in the cases whose cancer was stage III or higher. In the patients receiving some supportive therapy, 4 patients receiving radiatio...Continue Reading
