Urothelial carcinoma involving the prostate: the association of revised tumour stage and coexistent bladder cancer with survival after radical cystectomy

Abstract

Among patients with prostatic UC involvement, depth of tumour invasion was significantly associated with cancer-specific mortality, validating the staging reclassification. Concurrent locally advanced bladder cancer also negatively impacted survival, suggesting the potential prognostic value of reporting a secondary tumour stage in such cases.
