Overview

Bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer of American men and the eighth most common cancer of American women, with sixty thousand new cases of the disease diagnosed each year in the US alone. Disease prevalence is high in western nations due to the predominance of the chronic relapsing form of cancer that occurs in these countries (USA prevalence estimated to be 600,000; NCI-SEER database), and this single fact makes bladder cancer one of the most expensive cancers to treat. The ""Textbook of Bladder Cancer"" is a comprehensive reference drawing on the expertise of an international community of experts in the area. All aspects of disease biology, diagnosis and treatment are addressed. Appropriate for scholars and students of medicine at all levels, it promises to become a key text in the field.
