Treatment of carcinoma in situ by total cystectomy: Histopathological analysis

Seventeen specimens of primary or secondary carcinoma in situ (CIS) obtained by cystectomy were examined by step-sectioning. The posterior and lateral walls were mainly affected and 53% of the specimens showed invasion. Cases with a past history of superficial bladder cancer showed a particularly high incidence of invasion. Varieties of biological behavior of CIS are discussed.
