Transurethral resection specimens of the bladder (TURB): outcome of invasive urothelial cancer involving muscle bundles indeterminate between muscularis mucosae and muscularis propria
Abstract:Background: It may be difficult to diagnose muscularis propria on TURB as thin muscle fibers on TURB may represent either muscularis propria destroyed or splayed by urothelial carcinoma or muscularis mucosae, which may be hyperplastic. Design: 95 invasive bladder cancers seen at our instituion with follow-up (mean 25.4 months) where the initial TUR pathologic stage was ambiguous (T1 vs. T2) were analyzed (73 men; 22 women; mean age 69.4 years). Results: Subsequent restaging TURB or definitive therapeutic proc… Show more
