Abstract EN
Objective : To investigate the different emerging trends in the features of bladder cancer along 17 years.
Patients and Methods: During a 17-year period (1988- 2004), 5071 epithelial bladder cancer patients underwent radical cystectomy at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Cairo University, Egypt.
The time was divided into 3 time periods to detect changes of the clinicopathologic features of patients in these periods.
Results: There was a significant progressive increase in the patients' age with time and decrease in squamous/ transitional ratio, with transient increase in male predominance during the 2nd time period.
Moreover, there was a decrease in the well differentiated (grade 1) tumor (p<0.001) and an increase in the frequency of pelvic nodal involvement (p<0.001).
Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) patients were significantly older than those with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (p<0.001).
Progressive increase of age with time was evident in TCC, SCC and adenocarcinoma patients.
Male to female ratio changed significantly in TCC and SCC.
Conclusion: Time trend was confirmed with relative decrease in frequency of SCC and increase of TCC with changes in their pathological details.
The differences between their characteristics and that of the Western countries are decreasing.
