There are two main types of bladder cancer: superficial and invasive. The former is four times more prevalent than the latter. Superficial bladder cancers do not invade the muscle wall while invasive tumors do. Invasive bladder tumors have a propensity to metastasize and spread to other areas of the body and are more likely to be fatal than superficial tumors.
Invasive Bladder Cancer presents state-of-the-art diagnoses and treatments available for bladder cancer that has metastasised into the body in a full color book with over 40 tables and 50 illustrations. It gives a comprehensive review of the subject by a distinguished international team covering epidemiology, screening, diagnostic factors, surgery, chemotherapy and post-operative monitoring.
As this type of cancer is on the increase it will be of particular interest to office urologists, and oncologists with a specialist interest in urology.
Invasive Bladder Cancer draws on the expertise of an international community of experts in the area. It offers an updated, simple overview bridging the information coming from basic research to clinical practice, facilitated by most chapters having both a basic researcher and a clinician writing together.
