Chemoprevention in bladder cancer: What's new?

Jean-Baptiste Lattouf. Can Urol Assoc J. 2009 Dec.

Abstract

Bladder cancer is the sixth most common tumour in Canada and ranks eighth in terms of cancer mortality. Up to now, management of this condition relied mostly on surgical and intravesical treatments once the disease is established. Chemoprevention is an attractive option to prevent the disease in high-risk populations and may well reduce the costs related to its treatment. This review examines the available data on chemoprevention strategies in bladder cancer, with special emphasis on randomized controlled trials when available.
