Abstract

Primary transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) localized to the urinary bladder occurs as: A, carcinoma in situ (CIS), B, superficial disease penetrating the basement membrane but not invasive of detrusor muscle, C, disease invasive of the detrusor muscle, or a mixture of these. CIS is most frequently treated with intravesical chemo or immunotherapy. Radical cystectomy is utilized for treatment failures. Superficial disease is treated by transurethral resection (TUR-BT) followed by intravesical chemo or immunotherapy.
