SUMMARY A series of 104 cases of partial cystectomy for malignant tumours of the bladder has been reviewed. The results have been analysed in respect of the grade and the stage of the tumour, the anatomical site of the tumour, the width of tumour‐free margin excised, the presence or absence of local lymphatic invasion, and the value of post‐operative radiotherapy. Perivesical extension of the tumour has been shown to be no contraindication to a partial cystectomy. A one‐inch margin of normal bladder wall around the tumour has proved to be the most important single factor influencing prognosis. The combination of surgery and radiotherapy appears to offer a better prospect of cure than either surgery alone or radiotherapy alone.
