Major advances have been made in our understanding of the biology of bladder cancer and the role that various genetic changes play in the development of certain types of tumor diathese. This understanding is now being incorporated into methods by which bladder cancer may be detected and its biological potential assessed.

More DescriptionMajor advances have been made in our understanding of the biology of bladder cancer and the role that various genetic changes play in the development of certain types of tumor diathese. This understanding is now being incorporated into methods by which bladder cancer may be detected and its biological potential assessed. The advantage of this greater understanding is the selection of particular treatment approaches in addressing the risk of recurrence and/or progression. New approaches to the management of superficial disease and invasive disease have not only improved the management of each condition but have markedly improved the quality of life for patients who have these different forms of disease. This text brings together leading clinical experts and investigators to address the major issues involved in the assessment and treatment of bladder cancer. The authors provide state-of-the-art knowledge and understanding of bladder cancer, and suggest new areas for investigation and new approaches to assessment and treatment.
