Cancer of the urinary bladder (UBC) is a common tumour, and most primary care physicians can expect to see two or three new cases each year. Since many patients will have a good prognosis, the number of patients with bladder cancer in the population of every practice will be much larger.

This book clearly and succinctly provides the facts that those treating and caring for patients with UBC will need to know. It is a concise guide to clinical practice for family physicians, specialist nurses, and junior doctors and will be of interest to patients keen to understand more about their condition.
