Risk Stratification of Patients: Risk Tables and Assessment – NMIBC and MIBC

James Douglas, Werner Struss, Stephen Williams

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

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.
