Abstract
- Transitional cell carcinoma(T. C. C) of the bladder is the most common neoplasm of the urinary tract, but it occurs infrequently in younger patients. T. C. C. of urinary tract under the age of 40 is often thought to be a milder form than in older age group. However the literature provides little information on this and is contradictory. So, a total of 28 patients 40 years or less presented with T. C. C. of bladder between Jan., 1968 and Dec., 1987 was followed up and analyzed. It would appear that bladder carcinoma in patients 30 years old or less has a favorable prognosis, but disease occurring when the patient is 31 to 40 years old has a much worse prognosis and is not different from that affecting the older age group.
