title: [Applications for lasers in carcinoma of the urinary bladder].
abstract: The poor prognosis of bladder cancer, multimorbidity after therapeutic management and the suspicion that tumor, cell seeding is made more probable by TUR justify the search for safe and more effective treatment procedures. In this connection different laser systems must be discussed, but the optimal indications for the different laser combinations need to be determined by randomized, prospective studies.
