Abstract
Summary: The prognosis in transitional cell carcinomas of the bladder may be assessed by the: (1) clinical assessment of the depth of invasion; (2) pathological evidence of the depth of tumour invasion; (3) the degree of tumour differentiation; (4) the absence of lymph node invasion; (5) the patients age—older patients are more likely to have tumours invading muscle. The choice of surgeon and the treatment regime used did not influence the prognosis.
