ABSTRACT
Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of coincident vesical transitional cell carcinoma and prostatic cancer. Methods 8 cases of coincident vesical transitional cell carcinoma and prostatic cancer were evaluated clinically. Results All the 8 were diagnosed as vesical transitional cell carcinoma on cystoscopy and biopsy.Whereas on needle biopsy of the prostate,prostatic cancer was diagnosed in 7 and BPH in 1 but turned to be prostatic cancer on pathological study after cystoprostatectomy.4 patients underwent transurethral resection of the bladder cancer and bilateral orchiectomy with bladder instillation of MMC or BCG and oral flutamide for prostatic cancer.1 patient underwent partial cystectomy,bilateral orchiectomy and external radiotherapy for prostatic cancer.3 underwent radical cystoprostatectomy.2 cases were lost to follow up.In the other 6,3 survived less than 1 year because of wide metastasis.The other 3 have been followed up for 1.5 to 4.0 years,remained well and tumor free. Conclusions PSA detection together with rectal palpation,biopsy,transrectal ultrasonography and cystoscopy played the important role in the diagnosis of coincident vesical transitional cell carcinoma and prostatic cancer.Radical cytoprostatectomy yields a better outcome.
