Abstract
A retrospective study was under taken of 284 patients with blander cancer seen at Siriraj Hospital from 1991 to 1995. Of the total 284 patients, new patients comprised 158 cases, while recurrent cases numbered 126. The average ages were 60-70 years. The male to female patients ratio was 235 to 59 (4:1), with the most common symptom being haematuria. Most of the patients (both new and recurrent cases) were in stage A, and the common histology was transitional cell carcinoma. A total of 39 patients in stages O and A were treated by TUR and adjuvant intravesical BCG therapy, while 62 patients with invasive bladder cancer underwent cystectomy.
