[Phenacetin abuse. VII: Urinary tract tumors in dialysis patients and patients with kidney grafts].
From 1965 to 1981, 9 out of 346 patients treated by chronic hemodialysis or kidney transplants had tumours of the lower urinary tract. All the tumour patients belonged to the analgesic abusers group (n = 87). The frequency of urinary tract tumours in this analgesic abusers group does not differ from the frequency in analgesic abusers in general (about 10%). In the 9 analgesic abusers a total of 18 urothelial tumours were recorded: 4 tumours of the renal pelvis, 3 of the ureter and 8 tumours of the urinary bladder. One female patient had a tumour of the urethra. Diagnostic and therapeutic problems are discussed on the basis of two case histories. Our experience in recent years is summarized in a program for tumour-screening, diagnosis and therapy for analgesic abusers treated by dialysis and kidney transplantation.
