Abstract: Purpose: To investigate the prognostic significance of squamous and/or glandular differentiation in urothelial carcinoma (UC). Materials and Methods: Among 800 consecutive patients who underwent radical cystectomy or nephroureterectomy at our institution from January 1990 to December 2010, 696 patients were included for the analysis.
