Abstract

A review of our records between 1950 and 1980 identified 12 patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder who were less than 21 years old. The tumors were low grade and low stage, and were associated with an excellent prognosis. Only 1 patient had a solitary recurrence. This study supports the contention that transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is a less aggressive disease in patients who are in the first 2 decades of life than in older patients.
