Bilharzial role in staging bladder carcinoma histopathological-transurethral sonography and computerized tomography.
Bilharzial bladder tumour of 28 patients staged pre-operatively by transurethral ultrasound and computerized tomography (CT). The accuracy varied from 66.6% to 77.7% in different stages as compared with pathological stage. The bilharzial reaction could be play a role in this accuracy and the histopathological study is the accurate way to express the depth of infiltration of the tumour in the bladder wall as well as the depth of vascular invasion which may be greater than the primary tumour itself.
