title: [A clinicopathological study of 218 patients with bladder carcinoma treated by radical cystectomy].
abstract: Between 1986 and 1995, 218 patients with primary carcinoma of the bladder were treated with radical cystectomy at our hospitals. Clinicopathological specimens and the relative value of prognostic factors were analyzed with both the univariate and multivariate method. Univariate analysis indicated that age, sex, pathological tumor stage, grade, vessel involvement, tumor infiltrating type and positive nodes were predictive of poor cancer-specific survival. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that female patients were predictive of poor cancer-specific survival. As for the risk ratio, the prognostic factors in lymphatics involvement and tumor infiltrating type were 2.77 and 2.47, respectively.
