| Popis: | Between 1978 and 1980, 30 patients were evaluated by computed tomography (CT). CT differed from clinical stage in 10 of 30 patients (30%). In 9 of the 10 patients the change in stage resulted because of extravesical extension or involvement of the prostate. Seventeen patients underwent pre-operative irradiation, and CT scans done post-irradiation showed a decrease in tumor stage in 5 patients (33%). The accuracy of CT in detecting nodal involvement was limited with an overall accuracy of 65%. CT has limited value in staging of bladder cancer. |
