[The role of preserving therapy of invasive cancer of the urinary bladder].
Cystectomy in the treatment of invasive cancer of the urinary bladder is not the only therapeutic modality in this pathology.

The preserving therapy can be recommended to patients over 60 years of age in the presence of a low-grade solitary tumor of a mobile wall of the urinary bladder respectable with preservation of the organ capacity.
