Abstract
|
|
|
Staging of bladder cancer is based on an assessment of the depth of involvement of the bladder wall by the neoplasm.
It is important to make clinical staging as accurate as possible because it has proved to ´cc the
best guide to the appropriate treatment and the best predictor of the ultimate prognosis. In this study, comparison of clinical stage to post-surgical pathologic stage was made. The following results were obtained.
1. The mean age of 59 cases was 55. 5 years old. The ratio of male to female was 3.5 : 1.
2. Clinical stage A and B, was 40 cases(67.8%). Pathologic stage A and B, was 36 cases (61%). Metastatic carcinoma(stage D) was 7 cases(ll.9%).
3. The rate of accuracy was 70% in superficial carcinoma. Understaging rate was 10/10´ and overstaging rate was 20%.
4. 98.2% of lower grade tumor(grade I and II) was superficial cancer. 56.2% of high grade tumor was invasive cancer and 43.8% was metastatic cancer.
