Hydronephrosis as a prognostic indicator in bladder cancer patients.
J Urol. 1998; (6 Pt 1): 2011-4
Pathological stage is the standard measure of prognosis in patients who have undergone radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. Despite the development of new imaging techniques, clinical staging for bladder cancer continues to be inaccurate. We investigated whether the presence of unilateral or bilateral upper tract obstruction could accurately predict advanced cancer stage (extravesical extension, stage greater than p3b or N+).
