ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
There are many prognostic indicators of bladder tumors including clinical, pathological and molecular markers based on tumor-related factors. This study was performed to evaluate the significance of an elevated level of serum creatinine for predicting progression and recurrence of superficial bladder tumors. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
One hundred forty-seven patients that initially presented with a superficial bladder tumor(pTa or pT1) except for a carcinoma in situ were retrospectively analyzed according to several factors such as tumor stage, grade, size, multiplicity and serum creatinine for tumor recurrence and progression after a primary transurethral resection.RESULTS:
The elevated serum creatinine group consisted of 20 patients 11 patients experienced recurrence(55.0%) and 3 patients experienced progression(15.0%). The control group consisted of 127 patients 39 patients experienced recurrence(30.7%) and 13 patients experienced progression (10.2%). The presence of an elevated level of serum creatinine and tumor multiplicity were statistically significant prognostic factors for tumor recurrence.CONCLUSIONS:
These results can be helpful for predicting the prognosis of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and for planning therapeutic and follow-up strategies.
