Bladder cancer is an international public health problem
affecting millions of people in both developed and underdeveloped
nations. This major urologic malignancy was one of the first
cancers to be linked to occupational and environmental exposure to
carcinogens. Bladder cancer is the 5th most common cancer of
American men and the 8th most common cancer of American women.
Sixty thousand new cases of the disease are diagnosed each year in
the US alone; disease prevalence is high in western nations due to
the predominance of the chronic relapsing form of cancer that
occurs in these countries (USA prevalence estimated to be 600,000;
NCI-SEER database). This single fact makes bladder cancer one of
the most expensive cancers to treat. Treatment and Management of
Bladder Cancer, drawing on the expertise of an international
community of experts in the field, provides the reader with all
aspects of diagnosis and treatment pertaining to bladder
cancer.
As an additional feature, the book will include a cd-rom
containing the figures and legends from each chapter in a
user-friendly format, in order to further aid the reader.
