  • First Online:
Management of Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

Abstract

Bladder cancer (BCa) is the fourth most common cancer in men (Larré et al. in Eur Urol 63(6):1049–1058, 2013). Survival from the disease has not improved over the last quarter century. Bladder cancer is 1 of the 10 most frequently diagnosed types of cancer. Screening could identify high-grade bladder cancer at earlier stages, when it may be more easily and effectively treated Population-based screening theoretically provides the best opportunity to improve the outcomes of aggressive BCa (Larré et al. in Eur Urol 63(6):1049–1058, 2013).This chapter covers assessments and diagnostic pathways in NMIBC .
