title: Rationals for optimizing bladder cancer treatment and control.
abstract: Improvement in survival of patients with bladder cancer has despite much effort in optimizing treatment schedules been limited (21). Patients seem to present with a bladder tumour that has a biological potential which it is difficult to alter by treatment. Bladder tumours seem either to possess or lack the biological potential for invasion. Non-invasive (Ta) bladder tumours do not kill the patient, and survival of patients with invasive tumours is localized to the bladder or present with regional and/or distant metastases (26).
