✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND. Distant metastasis is rarely described among bilharzial bladder cancer patients. However, with improved 5-year survival rates following adjuvant local therapy, distant metastasis is now reported with increasing frequency.

METHODS.

Three-hundred-fifty-seven bilharzial bladder cancer patients were treated at the National Cancer Institute in Cairo, Egypt, during the period 1981- 1990. They were treated with either cystectomy alone, cystectomy preceded by a short course of preoperative radiotherapy (2000 cGy/5 fractions/l week), or cystectomy followed by postoperative irradiation (5000 cGy/25 fractiond5 weeks or 3750 cGy/30 fractions/2 weeks). These patients were retrospectively analyzed.

The role of BRCA1 in progression of sporadic breast cancers has to date been equivocal, although preliminary studies on small numbers of samples have suggested an association between expression levels of this gene and acquisition of an invasive phenotype.
