title: [Bladder cancer: news in 2008].
abstract: In 2007, urothelial cancers were the subject of a large number of varied communications in international conferences. Some of the most innovating studies likely to modify patient management were selected. Regarding non muscle-invading tumors, maintenance treatments using intravesical instillations were emphasized. Laser and laparoscopy were assessed in urothelial tumors of the upper urinary tract. Finally, new radiochemotherapy protocols have appeared for infiltrating bladder tumors. Extended lymphadenectomy and laparoscopy were also evaluated in detail.
