Bladder Cancer is designed for researchers and clinicians involved in urologic practice, including urologists, medical oncologists, pathologists and radiologists. It provides comprehensive guidance for treating and understanding bladder cancer and serves as an up-to-date reference reflecting evidence-based research.

The biological behavior of this disease entity shows a heterogeneous pattern with diverse morbidity and mortality depending on a variety of factors, such as tumor characteristics (tumor stage, grade, size, number, shape, and histologic subtypes) and applied treatment modalities (surgery or non-surgical management).

This book presents the substantial academic developments in the field of bladder cancer in one convenient reference.

Presents a comprehensive overview of the basic and translational research into bladder cancer Provides the established guidelines for bladder cancer in real clinical practice and relevant evidence-based research Saves academic, medical and cancer researchers time in quickly accessing the very latest details on bladder cancer, as opposed to searching through multiple sources Assists academic clinicians in understanding the importance of the breakthroughs that are contributing to advances in bladder cancer research

Bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer with an estimated 60,490 new cases and 12,240 deaths expected for 2017 in the US alone. The diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer in the current era is in the midst of a revolution. Recent research has focused on the evaluation of genetic markers to provide diagnostic and prognostic information in bladder cancer. In recent years, systemic therapies using a variety of immunotherapeutic strategies have evolved for the treatment of urothelial carcinoma.Bladder Cancer: Research Advances and Clinical Challenges is a textbook on bladder cancer written by leading world experts in the field. This new book presents the latest research in this field. It has ten chapters that discuss a wide variety of the most important topics, including: cancer stem cells; molecular biomarkers; cancer detection and monitoring; clinical prognostication; immune checkpoint inhibitors; etc. It will equally be appreciated by urologists as well as scientists. The editor hopes that this book will offer the most contemporary and useful information for specialists involved in bladder cancer.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary evidence-based management of urothelial carcinoma. The first part of the book is devoted to urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and includes detailed description of the diagnosis and treatment of non-muscle-invasive, muscle-invasive, and advanced or metastatic disease. Attention then turns to upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), with individual chapters on diagnosis, nephron-sparing surgery, nephroureterectomy, and treatment of advanced or metastatic UTUC. The text is supported by many illustrations, photos, and tables that clarify management, and surgical video clips are also available to readers. The book will be a welcome addition to the literature as progress continues to be made in understanding the exact pathophysiology of urothelial carcinoma and in developing more effective diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. It will be useful both to researchers in the field of urothelial carcinoma and to clinicians, includingespecially residents and fellows.
