title: [Therapy of bladder cancer. Value of transurethral resection--treatment results].
abstract: The significance of carcinomas of the bladder is shown on the basis of epidemiological data. A survey is given of the numbers of operations using various methods over the last 24 years; in our institution TuTuR is mainly used. A report is given on the indications, procedure and possibilities of complications, showing the limits of the method. Problems of radical operations, which make supravesical derivation of the urine necessary, are discussed. Our therapeutic results are presented in the form of mortality curves. The unfavourable therapeutic results cause us to pose the question once again whether, in the light of modern intensive medicine, greater radicality might not be recommendable.
