Bladder recurrence after radical nephroureterectomy: predictors and impact on oncological outcomes.

Objectives: To identify predictive factors of bladder recurrence after radical nephroureterectomy and to evaluate the impact of this event on oncological outcomes.

Methods: We carried out a retrospective analysis of 237 patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy for urothelial carcinoma of the upper tract at our institution from 1998 to 2011. Univariable and multivariable models evaluated the prognostic factors of bladder recurrence, and its impact on recurrence-free survival and cancer-specific survival.

[Fibromyxoid tumor of the bladder: report of 3 cases].

Fibromyxoid tumours are rare inflammatory bladder tumours. These benign tumours are responsible for minimal symptoms. The diagnosis is based on histological examination showing spindle cells infiltrating the detrusor associated with more or less abundant inflammatory infiltrates.
