Abstract
We have analyzed 95 patients operated for pelvic and ureteral cancer at the Department of Urology of the General Hospital Osijek in the period from 1961 to 1989. Solitary tumors were diagnosed in 69 patients and multiple in 26. In 6 patients bilateral tumors were found. The frequency of pelvic and ureteral tumors was 50 times higher in the region of endemic nephropathy (North Bosnia) than in Slavonia and Barania. On the other hand, since 1986 a sudden and constant rise in the frequency of these tumors has been observed in Slavonia and Barania. Papillary transitional epithelium tumors were found in 90 % and planocellular in 8 % of pathohistologically examined neoplasms. Five-year survival was registered in 77 % of cases after radical nephroureterectomy, in 47 % of cases after nephrectomy with partial ureterectomy and in 55 % of patients after conservative
surgery.
