Abstract
The management of prostate and bladder cancer in the elderly will increasingly require clinicians to judge the impact on comorbidity and toxicity of the proposed therapy in order to make sound management decisions. As PSA-based screening has rapidly increased, physicians are increasingly challenged to decide the upper age limits for such screening and therapy. Bladder cancer management in the elderly differs little from that offered to the younger patient and the new therapeutic developments may improve the risk-to-benefit ratio of treating advanced disease. It is clear that as the US population ages, management of prostate and bladder cancer will become an increasingly common dilemma for the urologic practitioner.
