Abstract:
The bladder tumour treatment closely depends on initial diagnosis. For superficial bladder tumour a conservative treatment is required using endoscopic resection. Adjuvant instillations (BCG or mitomycine C) can be proposed for high grade tumour. In case of muscular layer invasion or in case of frequent non controlled recurrence, cystectomy is necessary. Progress in anaesthesia, surgery and postoperative care permitted to enteroplasty to be much less morbid, it must be considered as the urinary diversion of choice. To prevent recurrence, both (superficial or infiltrating) tumour require very strict follow-up for many years.
