[T1G3 bladder tumors: 5 years later].

We have evaluated 79 patients affected by bladder cancer T1G3: 31 underwent just endoscopy, 11 radiotherapy, 10 cystectomy and 27 topical chemotherapy. At five years 44 patients were alive and disease free, 7 were alive but recurrent in TA, 3 were alive but in metastatic progression, 17 were died because of the tumor, 3 died because of the therapy, and 5 died disease free. The authors believe that this patients could be treated with BCG as first treatment choice performing cystectomy when relapse or progression occuring.
