PRECISION MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY OF BLADDER CANCER

1. Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Predictive Biomarkers on Bladder Tissue and Blood
2. Emerging Molecular Approaches in the Analysis of Urine in Bladder Cancer Diagnosis
3. Risk Factors and Molecular Features Associated with Bladder Cancer Development

This succinct yet comprehensive volume describes current and emerging concepts in molecular pathology of bladder cancer. Divided into two distinct sections, the first part focuses on the general principles of molecular findings in bladder cancer, while the second part focuses on the molecular changes associated with specific histologic subtypes. The volume also addresses such topics as molecular alterations in non-invasive and invasive disease, including bladder cancer variants as appropriate, emerging molecular classifiers of bladder cancer, and molecular associations to outcome and treatment. Written by experts in the field, Precision Molecular Pathology of Bladder Cancer is a valuable resource for those in the urologic community, including urologic pathologists, urologists, urologic oncologists and radiation oncologists, who treat and manage bladder cancer.
