The histology of the initial biopsy specimens of 473 patients with tumours of the urinary bladder has been reviewed and the tumours categorised. The patients selected were normally resident in the Western Cape. The findings show that there is a low percentage of squamous carcinomas in the series when compared with similar published series from other parts of the African continent. These findings suggest that whatever aetiological or modifying agents are operative in the remainder of Africa, these are not present in the Western Cape.
对473例膀胱肿瘤患者的初始活检标本进行了组织学检查并对肿瘤进行了分类。所选患者通常居住在西开普省。研究结果表明，与非洲大陆其他地区发表的类似系列研究相比，该系列中鳞状细胞癌的比例较低。这些发现表明，无论在非洲其他地区起作用的病因或影响因素是什么，在西开普省都不存在。
