While less prevalent among all types of bladder cancers, invasive bladder tumors affect the muscle wall. Unlike superficial bladder cancer, these have a propensity to metastasize and spread to other areas of the body, and are more likely to be fatal. This book presents state-of-the-art diagnoses and treatments available for bladder cancer that has metastasised into the body. A thorough review of current practice is presented in a full color volume with more than 40 tables and 50 illustrations. The book offers a comprehensive review of the subject, covering epidemiology, screening, diagnostic factors, surgery, chemotherapy and post-operative monitoring. The authors and contributors comprise an international community of experts with experience in many medical disciplines. The book offers a concise, up-to-date overview, building a needed bridge from basic research to clinical practice. Indeed, most chapters are jointly written by a basic researcher and a clinician.
