Abstract
Bladder cancer is a heterogeneous disease with vastly differing levels of risk to the patient. Low-risk non-invasive disease poses little to no threat to a patient’s survival, whereas invasive disease is rapidly fatal without intervention. This chapter aims to address the more recent developments in risk stratification tools available in assessing patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and muscle invasive bladder cancer.
