Short-term prognosis of bladder cancer. Evaluation with urinary CEA.
The parameters U-CEA and stage (T) appear to be good predictors of survival in bladder carcinoma during the first 12 months after diagnosis; calculated with the Cox regression model in a multivariate way. Calculated separately in a bivariate manner 0-12 months after diagnosis, U-CEA and T were highly significant predictors for survival. G did not add to the predictors for survival. Grade (G) did not add to the predictive power during the first 12 months but became more informative a year and later after diagnosis.
