Fluid intake and the risk of tumor recurrence in patients with superficial bladder cancer.

PURPOSE High fluid intake has been associated with a decreased risk of bladder cancer development in men. We evaluated whether higher fluid intake can impact tumor recurrence rates in patients with superficial bladder cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective single institution analysis of fluid intake in 267 consecutive patients with superficial bladder cancer undergoing routi...

Anterior urethral recurrence of superficial bladder cancer: its clinical significance.

The aim of this study was to reveal the clinical features of anterior urethral recurrence in patients with superficial bladder cancer, and to determine the appropriate treatment. Three hundred and three patients with superficial bladder cancer, who were newly diagnosed and initially treated conservatively in our hospital between 1965 and 1990, were followed for at least 5 years and their clinic...

Factors affecting recurrence and progression in superficial bladder tumours.

Prognostic factors in superficial bladder tumours are highly correlated with each other. In this study, their relative importance is examined and grouping of patients in three different prognostic groups suggested. 576 patients (from EORTC protocols 30790 and 30782) were analysed. They have been followed from 3 months to 8.6 years with a median of 4 years. 76 patients developed an invasive tumo...
