Abstract

After the successful publication of three Special Issues devoted to highlighting novel scientific research results in the field of bladder cancer and their clinical implications, we are now directing our efforts towards a fourth edition which will aim at compiling innovative research strategies that will ultimately guide and support clinicians in the decision-making process for targeted bladder cancer therapies [...].
