European Urology - Concomitant Carcinoma In Situ Is a Feature of Aggressive Disease in Patients With Organ-Confined TCC at Radical Cystectomy
Monday, 01 January 2007
Volume 51, Issue 1, Pages 152-160 (January 2007) Abstract -
Objectives:
Carcinoma in situ (CIS) is a nonpapillary, high-grade, potentially aggressive, and unpredictable manifestation of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder. The aim of this study was to assess whether presence of concomitant CIS has a detrimental effect on cancer control after radical cystectomy.
