This book provides a comprehensive, insightful, and state-of-the-art review of bladder cancer therapies. A valuable resource for practicing urologists, urologists in training, pathologists, medical oncologists, and even lay persons with an interest in urothelial tumors, this text takes a multidisciplinary approach to elucidate cystoscopy, pathology for tumor biopsies, and patient selection for appropriate therapies such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation. It integrates clinical and radiologic data to formulate diagnosis for practical clinical management and highlights the importance of a pattern recognition and algorithmic approach to enhance work up efficacy and avoid diagnostic pitfalls. Bridging the gap between a traditional textbook and hands-on experience, this book provides a practical guide to managing day-to-day challenges and concerns. An indispensable resource, all chapters are written by experts in their fields and include the most up-to-date information.

Bladder Cancer: A Practical Guide provides a concise yet comprehensive summary of the current status of the field of bladder cancer treatment, guiding patient management and stimulating investigative efforts.
