An analysis of the contribution of computed tomography to the treatment outcome in bladder cancer.
The survival pattern of 60 patients is reported and clinical details given. It has been possible to show significantly poorer survival in those patients whose tumour was incompletely enclosed by the 90% isodose, and the reasons for this have been discussed. The demonstration of pelvic lymph node enlargement has also been shown to be an indicator of poor prognosis.
