E Scosyrev, J Yao, E Messing - Urology, 2009 - Elsevier
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the survival of patients with squamous cell carcinoma
(SCC) is different from that of patients with urothelial carcinoma, after adjusting for stage,
grade, demographic factors, and the initial treatment. SCC of the bladder is a relatively
uncommon disease in the Western hemisphere. However, it is usually diagnosed at more
advanced stages compared with urothelial carcinoma. METHODS: Information on bladder
cancer cases diagnosed from 1988 to 2003 was obtained from the Surveillance …
