168 patients with bladder superficial tumors were studied. Their average age was 69 and the mean time of follow-up was 36 months. The different causes of tumoral recurrence and of progression are analyzed. The results connected with the histopathologic and morphologic characteristics of the tumor are exposed. Recurrence occurred in 128 patients (76,1 %) and progression in 20 (11,9 %). Recurrence was observed in more than the half before the 12 months
