more than 90% of bladder cancer is of urothelial carcinomas that ranks fourth
among cancers occurring in males. Although, over 50% of cases are diagnosed
by biopsy at an early stage. The prognosis is sometimes difficult to assess
because of heterogeneity, multifocality and tumor recurrence. In the present
study, among 70 urinary bladder tumor patients, 61 (87%) were of Transitional Cell
Carcinoma (TCC) and 9 (13%) of adenocarcinoma. Similarly, in the observed TCC
patients, high grade is observed in 44 cases (63%) whereas low grade was in
17 cases (24%). The study also revealed among the TCC, 18 (25%) patients have
shown the muscle invasion, 61 (87%) with lamina propria invasion and 18 (25%)
patients with lymph vascular space invasion.]]>Mahesh, K.U. and B.R. Yelikar,20125132136Laishram, R.S., P. Kipgen, S. Laishram, S. Khuraijam and D.C. Sharma,20121324772479Gupta, P., M. Jain, R.
