引言

全球每年大约有390,000例新发膀胱癌,并有150,000例膀胱癌导致的死亡。在世界发达地区,如北美和西欧,这些膀胱癌主要是尿路上皮癌。 (参见“膀胱尿路上皮(移行细胞)癌的流行病学和危险因素”,关于‘流行病学’一节)

大约70%的新发尿路上皮(移行细胞)膀胱癌病例被分类为非肌层浸润癌[1]。这类膀胱癌包括Ta(乳头状)肿瘤、T1(黏膜下侵润)肿瘤和Tis[原位癌(carcinoma in situ, CIS)],分别占非肌层浸润癌的70%、20%和10%。 (参见“膀胱肿瘤的病理学”)

非肌层浸润性膀胱癌的治疗将在此讨论。膀胱癌的临床表现、诊断和分期,以及尿路上皮膀胱癌的治疗概述参见其他专题。 (参见“膀胱癌的临床表现、诊断和分期”“膀胱尿路上皮癌的初始处理和治疗概述”)

治疗方法概述

通常在作出非肌层浸润性膀胱癌的诊断时通过对所有可见的膀胱肿瘤进行完全性经尿道膀胱肿瘤切除术(transurethral resection of bladder tumor, TURBT)作为初始治疗。 (参见下文‘经尿道切除术’)

一旦确定诊断,应根据临床因素对患者进行分层,以确定其复发风险的高低。有关浸润深度、组织学级别和有无多中心性病灶的综合信息是决定治疗方法应采用单纯TURBT、TURBT加膀胱内治疗还是膀胱切除术的重要因素。 (参见下文‘风险分层’)
