title: Current concepts in the study of bladder cancer.
abstract: Recent concepts may provide the basis for new insights into the etiology and prognosis of bladder cancer. Experimental observations related to the physiology, carcinogenesis and tumor growth of the bladder epithelium are providing useful information to the urologist and may soon extend our understanding of the characteristics of this disease. This article provides an overview of some of these theoretical and experimental considerations.
