Abstract
Urinary bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with the highest incidence in industrialized countries. A total of 225 cases of
urinary bladder tumours were studied at the Department of Pathology, Government medical college Srinagar, Kashmir, India over a period of 4
years (Jan 2015 to Dec 2018). Tumours were evaluated as per Age, Sex, Histological type, grade of tumour and clinical features. Males were more
commonly affected than females. Low grade Papillary urothelial carcinomas (PUC) were more common (66.4%) than high grade (28.5%). Peak
age of incidence was 7th decade of life. Painless hematuria was the commonest symptom in high grade tumours and pain abdomen was mostly seen
in high grade tumours. A denitive correlation between advancing grade of tumour and detrusor muscle invasion was observed
