One hundred nine patients with Stage O or A bladder cancer unmanageable transurethrally underwent radical cystectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion without lymphadenectomy. Fifty-six were also given planned preoperative radiation therapy. Five-year survival rate was 76 per cent for the entire group. Irradiation eradicated all of the tumor (Po) in 36 per cent of patients, no patient Po after irradiation had recurrent disease, and local recurrence was noted in only 3.5 per cent of the irradiated patients compared with 9.4 per cent of those not irradiated. Urethral cancer was present in 9 per cent of our patients, a finding that does not support our previous impression that patients with multifocal bladder cancer or tumors involving the prostatic urethra had a higher than average incidence of urethral carcinoma.
