Abstract:
Treatment of invasive bladder carcinoma is complex therapy procedure which means surgical and non-surgical treatment appliance. In spite of radical surgical treatment conduction, the gold standard in invasive bladder tumor therapy, about 30-40% patients spread metastasis in further disease course. The system chemotherapy in invasive bladder tumors treatments is marked with accent. Its fundamental aim is to correct results of surgical treatment. This therapy option very often means the only modality in bladder carcinoma treatment, for instance, in the diseminal disease faze. The adjuvant chemotherapy imposes a task to correct surgical treatments results in case where the high risk of recidive breaking out exists. As risks for recidive breaking out cite are: a) lymphatic and vascular invasion into the primary tumor; b) extravezical tumor extension-T3b; c) tumor invasion neighboring structures-T4; d) positive lgl findings-N+. After radical cystectomy caused by high level malignancy tumors - T3b,T4, is founded frequency of positive IgI of about 40-60%. Patients with positive lgl have badly prognosis. Only 17% they survive longer than two years, and 7% have surviving of five years.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
