title: Surveillance strategies after definitive therapy of invasive bladder cancer.
abstract: Following definitive therapy for muscle invasive bladder cancer, patients remain at risk for local and distant recurrence. Additionally, recurrences can result from formation of new tumours elsewhere in the urinary tract. We review patterns of recurrence and the prognosis associated with recurrence. Optimal surveillance strategies are discussed.
