Objective: We evaluated the value of urinary cytology, and presence of hydronephrosis to predict muscle invasive bladder cancer. Material & methods: We retrospectively analyzed data of 167 patients that diagnosed bladder cancer from medical record at Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta, between 2004-2011. Preoperative parameters were evaluated including age, gender, number and location of bladder cancer, urinary cytology, as well as presence of hydronephrosis. The outcome was muscle invasive bladder cancer. Results: A total of 96 (57.5%) patients had positive urinary cytology, 80 (47.9%) had hydronephrosis, most location of tumor were in trigone 43 (25.7%). The youngest patient was 26 years and the oldest was 84 years old, male was most affected in 145 (86.8%). On bivariate analysis, positive urinary cytology and hydronephrosis were associated with muscle invasive bladder cancer (OR 0.08 CI 0.038–0.167; OR 30.24 CI 12.72–71.89, respectively, each p < 0.05). Combination urinary cytology and hydronephrosis incrementally improved prediction of muscle invasive bladder cancer with positive and negative predictive value were 93.9% and 71.4%, respectively. Presence of hydronephrosis was associated with tumor location in trigone (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Urinary cytology and hydronephrosis were associated with muscle invasive bladder cancer, and can be used to predict muscle invasive bladder cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
