title: [Natural history and prognostic factors of superficial tumors of the bladder].
abstract: Forty-five patients with superficial bladder cancer managed by transurethral resection alone were studied longitudinally to identify factors associated with progression. Tumor grade, multiple tumor foci, and time to first recurrence were closely correlated with progression. Findings from this study are compared with previous reports. These data are useful to identify patients requiring more aggressive therapy, including intravesical anticancer drugs and BCG, and monitoring with closer-spaced cystoscopies.
