[Prognostic factors in superficial bladder carcinoma. Analysis of 250 cases].
Surface vesical tumors constitute 80% of transitional cell tumors. They are neoplasms of slow evolution, but characterized by their tendency to recur and progress in time. The prognostic factors, as regards recurrence and progression, are going to depend on a series of macroscopic or microscopic anatomic characteristics. We present our observations on some prognostic aspects in surface vesical carcinoma obtained from a study of 250 patients. By way of conclusion, from our observations we may infer that neither age, nor sex nor location, save in the case of patients under the age of 40, have prognostic value in the evolution of the primary tumor, which will be noticeably better (lower percentage of relapses and longer illness-free period) in patients with a single tumor of low grade and state, and in general in patients receiving intravesical prophylactic chemotherapy treatment, and no difference is found between thio-tepa and adriamycin.
