ABSTRACT
Fifty-four case records of Carcinoma Bladder seen at the Kingston Regional Hospital during the period 1974-1978 were studied. Forty-nine were primary tumour of the bladder and five were secondaries. Twenty-nine were females. The age group ranged from 40 - 82 years; peak incidence was 60-70 years. Presenting symptoms were haematuria 90 percent, dysuria 60 percent, back pain 20 percent. All females had dysuria. Cystoscopy and biopsy were performed in all cases. Hystologically they were- transitional cell (39), squamous cell carcinoma (5), anaplastic adeno-carcinoma (2), adeno-carcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma (2), transition from transitional cell carcinoma to squamous cell carcinoma (1), secondary transitional cell carcinoma from renal pelvis (1), squamous cell carcinoma from cervix (4). Thirty-nine cases had cobalt therapy only; nine patients had per urethral electro resection of the bladder tumour followed by cobalt therapy; two had partial cystectomy and three had total cystectomy. All had cobalt therapy. One had ideal conduit and cobalt therapy for the tumour, as the lesion was not resectable. Five-year follow-up of all patients was difficult due to the shifting population. Three year survival was 60 percent. Age group; sex ratio and histological type is similar to that seen in other countries, but the majority of our patients presented with Grade III Carcinoma (AU)
