Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer and ranks eighth as a cause of death from cancer among men in the United States. Although guidelines assist in treatment, the art of managing bladder cancer, such as the decision to use neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the timing of cystectomy, is still variable. Bladder cancer has a propensity to recur, and with recurrence, a significant number of cases progress, which makes the early detection of high-risk patients imperative. Advances in detection, surveillance, and treatment of bladder cancer are reviewed in this article.
膀胱癌是美国男性中第四大常见癌症，也是第八大癌症死因。尽管指南有助于治疗，但膀胱癌的治疗艺术，如使用新辅助化疗的决策和膀胱切除术的时机，仍然存在差异。膀胱癌有复发的倾向，随着复发，大量病例进展，这使得早期发现高危患者势在必行。本文综述了膀胱癌的检测、监测和治疗进展。
