Management of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder

A six years experience in the management of 33 Jordanian patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder is reported. They were treated by transurethral resection for superficial tumours, invasive tumours were treated by radiotherapy and resection, cystectomy was done for invasive cancer which did not respond to radiotherapy and resection, and urinary diversion was done for inoperable tumours. This treatment was suitable for these 33 patients medically and socially, and it gave similar results in comparison with other centres.
