Description
This account of the etiology, diagnosis, management and future trends in bladder cancer starts by addressing epidemiological questions, before going on to discuss the molecular factors influencing carcinoma of the bladder.

The authors aim to address the controversial issues surrounding this topic and provide a consensus of opinion.
