The Impact of Squamous and Glandular Differentiation on Survival After Radical Cystectomy for Urothelial Carcinoma

Abstract

Patients with urothelial carcinoma, and squamous and/or glandular differentiation were more likely to have extravesical tumors and node positive disease. Nevertheless, they did not have adverse survival compared to patients with pure urothelial carcinoma. Additional studies are needed to further define prognostic factors in such patients.
