Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bladder cancer is the second most common genitourinary malignancy, with 81,190 estimated new diagnoses for 2018 in the United States alone. Transurethral resection of the bladder and radical cystectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection is the standard treatment for non-muscle invasive or very high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, respectively. However, survival expectations have not shown improvement in the last 20 years, and new diagnostic and therapeutic tools are urgently needed to improve outcomes of this potentially lethal disease.
