Overview

This account of the aetiology, diagnosis, management and future trends in bladder cancer starts by addressing epidemiological questions, before going on to discuss the molecular factors influencing carcinoma of the bladder. Also covered are disease and prognosis issues, and new therapies, including biological response modifier, photodynamic treatments and new drugs. The authors aim to address the controversial issues surrounding this topic and provide a consensus of opinion.
