Abstract
The cases of infiltrating bladder cancer seen in the Urology Unit of the Hospital of Noale from 1988 to today are presented. Of the 120 patients observed, 53 underwent radical cystectomy, whilst 67 had conservative treatment. The latter treatment gave a survival rate of 37% and radical cystectomy, 68%. Survival was influenced by the stage of the tumour and the presence of lymph node metastasis. The complications observed after radical cystectomy are reported. Survival data may be compared to those found in international literature.
