Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bladder cancer is a frequent cancer type with a high degree of diversity regarding prognosis and treatment modalities. Its incidence has been almost unaltered over the past few decades despite a focus on smoking and work environment improvements. Thus, the reduction in these factors has been offset by an increasing life expectancy in the Western World.
During the last decade, previous stagnation in the development of new diagnostics and treatment modalities has changed into an explosion in both new local and systemic treatments and the introduction of promising prognostic biomarkers. Immunotherapy showed promising results when introduced, but the initial enthusiasm was quickly changed to a more realistic expectation of just a game-changer in the minority of patients. However, this fact has paved the way for more individualized, tailor-made treatment. We are on the verge of a new future for bladder cancer treatment.
With this Special Issue, “Bladder Cancer: Diagnosis, Treatment and Future Opportunities”, we hope to focus on an up-to-date mapping of the current status of bladder cancer and highlight new promising fields of diagnostics, treatment, and follow-up.
