title: [Evaluation of tumor staging using echography in bladder tumors (2)].
abstract: The paper shows the value of echography in tumoral grading based on 87 patients who besides cystoscopy, bimanual touch and histology study by transurethral resection, had an echography performed. Sensitivity achieved for tumour detection through echography was 85% with a positive predictor value of 98.8%. On the 72 patients who were diagnosed a tumour through echography, TUR histology showed an echography under-grading of 2.7% (2 cases) and an over-grading of 9.7% (7 cases) with grading correlation in 86.3% cases.
