It was found that the mean age of occurrence was 64.5 years. Male to female ratio was 5.7: 1 and predominantly affecting the Malays (86.57%). Sixty-one percent smoker with significant statistical correlation to tumour grade. The most common clinical presentations were haematuria (85.1 %). Transitional cell carcinoma was found in 95.5% of studied population and most patients present with invasive stage (64.2%). TUR was done for 83.6% of them while 28.4% of patients underwent systemic chemotherapy therapy and 4.5% underwent radiotherapy. | en_US |
