Superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is a chronic disease. Patients face a lifetime with the potential for further neoplastic manifestations--the recurrence of either superficial or deeply invasive tumor. To some extent, the likelihood of disease recurrence can be predicted. Further, certain clinical interventions can alter the probability of tumor recurrence. This paper focuses on those patient and tumor characteristics that predict for the propensity to develop recurrent disease, with emphasis on the potential of the interferons to both treat this disease and to modify its natural history.
膀胱浅表性移行细胞癌是一种慢性疾病。患者一生都面临着进一步发生肿瘤表现的可能性——浅表或深部浸润性肿瘤的复发。在一定程度上，疾病复发的可能性是可以预测的。此外，某些临床干预措施可以改变肿瘤复发的概率。本文重点关注那些能够预测复发性疾病发生倾向的患者和肿瘤特征，重点探讨干扰素治疗这种疾病并改变其自然病程的潜力。
