Of the 9 patients with tumor extending to the surrounding structures 6 (67 per cent) died of complications related to inadequate control of the primary tumor. The last 4 patients had stage Dl disease or greater at initial diagnosis and died of distant metastases. Our current approach for patients with locally advanced disease is combined brachytherapy and operation in an effort to eradicate the primary tumor, since morbidity and mortality result from failure to control the local tumor. © 1983 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByJohnson D, Kessler J, Ferrigni R and Anderson J (2018) Low Dose Combined Chemotherapy/Radiotherapy in the Management of Locally Advanced Urethral Squamous Cell CarcinomaJournal of Urology, VOL. 141, NO. 3 Part 1, (615-616), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1989.Zimmern P, Studer U, Hadley H and Raz S (2018) Urethral Replacement Using Ileum with an Intussuscepted Ileal Valve for ContinenceJournal of Urology, VOL. 134, NO. 2, (414-417), Online publication date: 1-Aug-1985.
