RESULTS OF TRIMODAL THERAPY FOR INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER

Abstract

Bladder cancer most of these tumors are represented by urothelial cancer and can be characterized by varying degrees of differentiation and invasiveness. In many cases, Bladder cancer develops against the background of generalized metaplasia of the entire urothelium from the renal pelvis to the urethra. This explains the tendency for multiple tumors to appear and Bladder cancer to recur after resection. Urothelial cancer cells can also migrate and implant into other areas of the urothelium, which makes it difficult to determine the causes of a re-detected tumor: incomplete removal of the primary, migration and implantation of cancer cells, multiple tumors or a different combination of them.
