[Late results of the combined treatment of bladder cancer depending on the histological form of the tumor].

The writers present an analysis of the remote results of the combination therapy in 208 patients with cancer of the urinary bladder, depending on the histological form of the tumor. Radical surgery was performed in 193 patients, palliative--in 15. All types of surgical intervention were associated with radiotherapy in the pre- and postoperative period. The survival for 3 years and longer was noted in 153 patients, for 5 years and longer--in 69. Transitional-cell papilloma is characterized by the most favourable prognosis.
