The reproductibility of these stratifications has
been questioned since interobserver agreement
was only 52 to 67 (Holmang -97, Engel -92)

15Table 14. Conclusions
1. The most useful prognostic factors for
recurrence and progression are stage, grade,
recurrent character, bladder Tis associated
and multifocality. 2. Based on these prognostic
factors, three risk groups of patients can
be identified in which a different therapeutic
strategy can be considered. 3. Molecular
markers are new promising prognostic factors,
but currently dont have enough
reliability. 4. In high risk patients, clinical
response to intravesical therapy can be an
important predictive factor for progression and
in non-responders pathological pattern or
p53 overexpression can be potential
indicators for early cystectomy.
