INTRODUCTION: Though usually the treatment of a superficial @entity150 consists in transurethral resection, exceptionally because of several clinical conditions, in this kind of @entity1 a radical cystectomy may be suitable. @entity1 AND METHOD: From june 1986 through december 2001, 127 radical cystectomies were performed. A series of 25 @entity1 with a radical cystectomy performed in superficial @entity150 were analysed. Indications, anatomo-pathological correlation and clinical evolution with survival curves are analysed. RESULTS: The mean time of follow-up was 47 months. @entity5 (40%) were the chief indication. The remaining of the series consisted in @entity189 uncontrollable by endoscopy and refractory to chemotherapy. Anatomo-pathological correlation coincided in 48% of @entity1 , existing supra and understaging in 25% and 28% respectively. A period of 54 months was without relapse. Seven @entity1 died during the evolution (28%), and 18 @entity1 are alive without disease. 128,48 months were the mean actuarial survival. CONCLUSIONS: GIIIpT1 @entity5 were the chief indication of our series. The significant percentage of understaging, poor morbidity and good survival curves are emphasized. Because of these results we consider that radical cystectomies are a viable choice for selected @entity1 with superficial @entity5 .
