[One-stage transurethral resection of the urinary bladder and the prostate in patients with superficial cancer of the urinary bladder combined with benign prostatic hyperplasia].
Combination of urinary bladder cancer (UBC) with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prognostically unfavourable factor. To assess clinical efficacy of one-stage transurethral resection of UBC and BPH in combination with adjuvant immunotherapy, we examined 181 patients with UBC stage Tis, Ta-T1 and BTH. All the patients have undergone one- and two-stage endoscopic operations. TUR of the urinary bladder and the prostate was made in 87 patients. Stage-by-stage TUR of the urinary bladder and TUR of the prostate were made in 94 controls. We conducted postoperative immunotherapy with BCG vaccine (imuron) as an adjuvant therapy in 114 (63%) patients. Postoperative UBC recurrence occurred in 124 (68.5%) patients: 49 (56.3%) patients of the study group and 75 (79.7%) controls (p < 0.05). Reoperation (TUR of the urinary bladder) was performed in all cases of UBC recurrence. Five-year survival in the study group was 71% and 68.0% survived in the control group (p > 0.05). The conclusion is made that in combination of superficial UBC with BPH indications appear for TUR of the urinary bladder and TUR of the prostate with adjuvant immunotherapy. Early elimination of infravesical obstruction lowers UBC recurrence rate and improves the patients' quality of life.
