Bladder Cancer: Diagnosis and Treatments

Dear Colleagues,

Bladder cancer remains one of the most prevalent and challenging malignancies worldwide, particularly due to its high recurrence rate and the need for long-term surveillance. The disease presents as a spectrum ranging from non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) to aggressive muscle-invasive forms (MIBC), each requiring distinct diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Recent advances in immunotherapy, molecular diagnostics, and targeted therapies have significantly improved patient outcomes; however, challenges persist in optimizing treatment pathways and personalizing care.

This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research and clinical advances in bladder cancer diagnostics and treatment. We invite original research articles and reviews that address innovations in imaging, biomarkers, surgical approaches such as radical cystectomy, novel chemotherapeutic and immunotherapeutic regimens, and strategies for patient selection and follow-up. Contributions focusing on clinical research and multidisciplinary treatment approaches are particularly welcome.

Dr. Stanislav Źiaran
