Management of bladder cancer: a nursing view.
More than 13,000 new cases of bladder cancer are diagnosed in the UK each year. Haematuria is the most common presenting symptom and should always be investigated. Superficial cancers are usually treated with transurethral resection and intravesical therapy. Radical cystectomy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy are used to treat invasive disease.
