Of the 378 cases of stage 3 carcinoma uterine cervix, only 10 showed vesical invasion, while 19 of 24 cases of stage 4 disease had vesical invasion. Results of this procedure did not alter the management of the disease in any of these cases. From the whole series it was concluded that cysto-urethroscopy is an unnecessary, cost ineffective, invasive procedure which has no role in either diagnosis or in planning the definitive treatment of carcinoma uterine cervix.
在378例3期子宫颈癌病例中，只有10例出现膀胱浸润，而24例4期病例中有19例出现膀胱浸润。该操作的结果并未改变这些病例中任何一例的疾病管理方式。从整个系列病例得出的结论是，膀胱尿道镜检查是一种不必要、成本效益低的侵入性操作，在子宫颈癌的诊断或确定治疗方案中均无作用。
