Bladder Cancer
Ivan Gilja
Sažetak
The staging of bladder cancer is crucial for optimal management of the disease. Quality of the transurethral resection of bladder carcinoma and pathologic evaluation of resected tissue by a specialized uropathologist is the cornerstone of bladder carcinoma staging. Restaging transurethral resection is indicated in high-risk non-invasive cancers and also if incomplete resection is demonstrated or suspected. Evidence supports early, aggressive surgical management of invasive bladder cancer. Risk stratification of patients with bladder cancer based on pathologic features at initial transurethral resection or at recurrence can select those patients most appropriate for early radical cystectomy. In patients with organ-confined, lymph node-negative urothelial bladder carcinoma, excellent long-term survival rates can be achieved.
