CARCINOMA OF THE BLADDER; TREATMENT BY DIATHERMY SNARE EXCISION AND INTERSTITIAL IRRADIATION

Authors:

Abstract
SUMMARY: A simple technique for treating bladder tumours by diathermy snare excision and interstitial irradiation is described. Three hundred and fifty cases were treated between 1950 and 1964 and the results were available for histological review and statistical analysis. The results are shown for all cases, and also for papillary differentiated and for solid anaplastic tumours, by survival curves using life table methods. The results of treatment in the smaller histological groups are set out in detail.
