[Treatment of cancer of the bladder (author's transl)]

Therapeutic procedures for bladder cancer as practiced at the Department of Urology, University of Vienna Medical School, are presented. Transurethral resection is preferred over in comparison to open surgery. The surgical procedures are always followed by postoperative radiotherapy. The possibility of hemostasis in inoperable carcinomas by bilateral intravasal occlusion of the iliac arteries is emphasized.
