The clinical course of 33 male patients presenting with concurrent primary tumors of the bladder and prostate was reviewed. Twenty-four of 33 patients were treated by radical cystoprostatectomy. The remaining 9 patients were treated by more conservative means. Seventy-four per cent of the patients survived five years. A rationale for management of concurrent primary tumors of the bladder and prostate is presented.
