Abstract:
Carcinoma of the bladder is the second most common genitourinary malignancy. Although several treatments exist, the gold standard therapy for muscle invasive bladder cancer (> or = stage T2) is cystectomy with urinary diversion. We review various surgical treatments for muscle invasive bladder cancer, focusing on the reported survival rates, complications, advantages and disadvantages of each therapeutic modality.
