Abstract

Under the rubric of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) there is a variegated spectrum of disease. In this chapter, we will adhere narrowly to a single type of patient: a patient with NMIBC at high risk for recurrence and a significant potential for disease progression. Throughout this chapter we will discuss the nuances of treating a patient where, often, indications become equivocal and guidelines less than guiding.

Chemotherapy

Disease progression

Tumor burden

Urinary bladder neoplasms
