Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bladder cancer remains a significant global health challenge, with its incidence and mortality rates necessitating continuous advancements in diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management. Recent innovations in surgical techniques, systemic therapies, and personalized medicine have reshaped the therapeutic landscape, improving survival outcomes and quality of life for patients. This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in bladder cancer treatment and management, covering topics such as minimally invasive surgery, novel immunotherapeutic and targeted approaches, biomarkers for disease stratification, and advancements in imaging and diagnostics. Additionally, we welcome contributions discussing multidisciplinary strategies, clinical decision-making in muscle-invasive and non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and long-term surveillance protocols. By gathering original research, systematic reviews, and clinical perspectives, this Special Issue will enhance understanding of evidence-based and emerging therapeutic approaches, ultimately improving patient care. We invite researchers, clinicians, and specialists in urology, oncology, pathology, and related fields to contribute their latest findings and insights.
