Surveillance strategies after definitive therapy of invasive bladder cancer.

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.
