Abstract

Analysis of 86 patients who underwent salvage cystectomy following a radical course of radiotherapy for bladder cancer and 37 patients who underwent primary cystectomy has shown a greater survival for women than men. The following factors were associated with a significant deterioration in survival: 1. Age at time of cystectomy: post-operative mortality and tumour recurrence are greater over the age of 70. 2. Non-function of one kidney on IVU. 3. Grade 3 tumour on cystectomy specimen. 4. pT3 or pT4 tumour on cystectomy specimen.
