[Pathomorphologic characteristics of the urotract cancers].
In the present paper, it was emphasized that the two types of bladder cancers, papillary and nonpapillary types, should be being quite different from each other in their pathologic entity. This is related to the course of development, speed of advance and association with precancerous background. Without recognizing this fact, adequate diagnosis of the cancers at early stage will not be actually obtained, particularly in cases with simultaneous development of the both kinds of the cancer in individual patients.
