Radical cystectomy in Poland – what has been changed during 15 years. Comparative evaluation of publications based on pTNM classification

Summary/Abstract: Radical cystectomy is the gold standard of therapy in bladder cancer that infiltrates muscularis mucosae. The nature of changes in the form of bladder cancer treatment was assessed in scientific papers based on the pTNM scale in Poland over a 15-year period (2002–2017). Simple statistical tools were used for that purpose on the basis of publications of eleven academic and other centers. The number of patients was 1502 and the average age of the patients who underwent the surgical operation was 64,5 years. Despite the passage of years locally advanced forms of pT3 and pT4 neoplasm, that constitute more than 50% of cases, are still treated with surgery. The forms of muscularis mucosae that infiltrate bladder cancer with good prognoses – pT2 – do not exceed 30% of the patients operated on.
