Carcinoma of the urinary bladder is one of the most common malignant tumors of the urinary tract in male and female patients. It is the fourth most common tumor in men accounting for 6o/o of all men cancer. In females, it is the eighth most common tumor, accounting for 4% of all women cancer (Husband, 1995).
In Egypt, the situation 1s worse as a result of the bilharziasis. Bilharziasis is not only endemic in our country, but also considered to be a historical disease as it has been discovered in the urinary bladder of the pharaoh ancestors' mummies. The uncommon aggressive squamous cell carcinoma is frequently associated with bilharzia! bladder and has been noted for a long time in the different series published from Egypt (El-Bolkainy eta/., 1981).
Factors reported to be causally related to bladder cancer include occupational exposure to chemicals, cigarette smoking, coffee drinking, analgesics, artificial sweeteners, bacterial and parasitic infestations, bladder calculi, pelvic irradiation and cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents (Cohen et a/., 1990).
The first treatment decision based on tumor stage is whether the patient has a superficial or invasive tumor. The second treatment decision made on the basis of staging is to
