All patients received endoscopic treatment (transurethral resection). An average age of patients was 74.4±7.9 years. 142 (91.1%) of patients were older then 60 years. The transitional cell carcinoma was diagnosed in 118 patients. The urinary bladder cancer recurrence was diagnosed in 13 (9.2%) patients steged T1 and in 24 (16.9%) staged T2. Only 2 patients with T3 stage of the disease were considered to be unsuitable for endoscopic transurethral resection and received an open argon tumor vaporization.
