Multidisciplinary Approach to Bladder Cancer Treatment and Care

Dear Colleagues,

Bladder cancer remains a challenge in surgery and oncology, demanding not only precise diagnosis and effective treatment but also a holistic approach that prioritizes the patient’s overall well-being. In recent years, clinical practice has evolved dramatically, driven by advances in different aspects of medical and surgical treatment and care. Yet, the most meaningful progress emerges when these perspectives are integrated through a multidisciplinary strategy that brings together urologists, medical oncologists, specialist nurses, and other healthcare professionals.

Healthcare professionals play a pivotal role in this collaborative framework, providing treatment, essential patient education, perioperative support, symptom management, and guidance throughout survivorship. By addressing the physical, psychological, and social needs of patients, nursing expertise ensures that complex treatment plans remain patient-centered and accessible.

This Special Issue of Cancers, entitled “Multidisciplinary Approach to Bladder Cancer Treatment and Care”, aims to highlight how combined expertise across all disciplines transforms research into clinical impact to improve the outcomes and quality of life of patients with bladder cancer.
