Abstract:
To the Editor, Bladder cancer (BCa) is the second most common cancer in urological clinical practice, after prostate adenocarcinoma. Usually occurs in patients between 60 and 70 years old, three times more frequently in men than women. About 75% of bladder cancer are pTa or pT1, even more frequently considering a population younger than 40 years old. Early detection is of paramount importance since allows to find tumors when they are still superficial and therefore with a better prognosis.
