Abstract

From 1970 ,88 patients with tumor of genito-urniary tract were treated by radiation at Yonsei Cancer Center. The writers chose 41 patients of 88 patients, who were available for follow-up examination and they had been histopathologically confirmed cases after their operation of biopsy; We reviewed them in respect of method of radiation therapy, incidence of disease, age distribution, histopathological findings clinical staging,complication during and after radiation therapy and prognostic effect of radiation treatment. The results are; 1.The most common lesion among the tumor of genito-urinary tract was bladder tumor(63.4%) and next was renal tumor(17.1%), combined of renal & bladder tumor(7.3%), penile tumor (7.3%), and last was urethra tumor(4.9%); 2. In sex incidence shows as follow; Bladder, renal, combined of renal. & bladder are more common in male, and all of theurethral cancer are in female. 3. The pick age incidence was 4th and 5th decade in all genito-urinary tract tumor(except Wilm's tumor). 4. In histopathologically, transitional cell carcinoma was the most common type of bladder tumor and Wilm's tumor was the most common in renal tumor and squamous cell carcinoma in all penile tumor and among the two case of urethral cancer, one was squamous cell tumor and the other was transitional cell carcinoma.5. Average survival months after radiation treatment was 18.9 months in bladder Ca. 13.2 months renal tumor, 22 months in combined of renal & bladder tumor, 15 months in urethral tumor, and 37.3 months in penile tumor. 6. Themost of the patients shows post irradiation miner complication during radiation therapy and among the side effect dysuria. unirary frequency. diarrhea are more frequent than other symptoms. But there is not developed of major complication which requires operation or surgical management.
