[Computerized tomography of bladder neoplasms]. 1984

S D Bianchi, and M Andreis, and G Gatti

A comparison was made between the pelvic CT picture and clinical and instrumental findings in 89 patients with bladder neoplasm. A close critical assessment was also made of CT as a reliable way of determining the TNM stage, and its effective aid in the choice of a therapeutic strategy. The advantages and limits of CT are discussed. The conclusion is drawn that it is of assistance in overall TNM rating, and may sometimes provide useful informations concerning the involvement of surrounding structures. Particularly as far as the choice of radical management is concerned, however, it is prone to by no means negligible staging errors, though these are open to correction in the light of non-radiological criteria.
