INTRODUCTION

OBJECTIVES

RESULTS

CONCLUSIONS

Most of the bladder tumours in the region are high grade, but early detection and ideal treatment has given a very good control to the superficial disease. But the control of muscle-invasive bladder cancers is not optimal.

On follow-up check cystoscopy in the pT1 group, there were 3 recurrences.

Radical Cystectomy was offered to 5 but could perform only in 2.

Mortality due to bladder cancer during the last 12 months is 7% and all had pT2 (muscle-invasive) tumours

To find the characteristics and outcome of bladder cancers in the Eastern province
