Transurethral resection of 1250 bladder tumours.
A total of 1250 bladder tumours were subjected to transurethral resection (891 curative, 107 palliative operations, 252 TUR biopsies). Complication rate was 9.9%, mortality rate 0.8%. In patients with primary tumours the 1-year recurrence rate after TUR was 23.8%, the 3-year rate was 36.6%, with an increase in proportion to stage. The 5-year survival rate was 66.5%. Within five years 9% of the patients died from tumour generalization, also with a rising tendency in proportion to stage. TUR as a curative method is suitable mainly for the removal of Ta and T1, under circumstances also of T2 G1-G2 tumours.
