    Abstract:
    We assessed the treatment outcome of 105 patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder treated by total cystectomy at our university hospital, between 1979 and 1993. The patients consisted of 84 men and 21 women (male to female ratio : 4:1), between 45 and 82 years old (mean, 65.5 years old). The overall cancer-specific survival rate at 3 and 5 years was 76.3% and 68.9%, respectively. The 5-year survival rate was 85.2% for grade 2 and 59.9% for grade 3 tumors with a significant difference in the survival curves between the two groups (p < 0.05). The 5-year survival rate according to pathological stage was 100% for pTa, 75.6% for pT1, 78.4% for pT2, 54.0% for pT3 and 39.8% for pT4. A significant difference was observed between pTa and pT3 (p < 0.05), and between pTa-2 and pT4 (p < 0.05). The 5-year survival rate was 72.3% for patients without lymph node involvement and 11.9% for those with lymph node involvement, the difference being significant (p < 0.01). Nineteen patients who received pre- and/or post-operative chemotherapy did not show a higher 5-year survival rate than those who did not.
