Summary A prospective study of 43 cases of transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis that presented over a 20‐year period is reported. The overall prognosis of these patients was poor and was not related to their histological grading. However, once invasion had occurred the prognosis deteriorated markedly. A large proportion of the patients subsequently developed bladder carcinomata, and the risk was increased when the intramural portion of the ureter was not removed completely.
