[Optimizing the management of bladder cancer in older patients].

CONCLUSION: The indications and principles of surgical treatments must be identical regardless of the patient age. At the NMIBC stages, adjuvant therapy, including BCG therapy, should not be questioned because of the age of the patient. On the other hand, at the localized MIBC stages, neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy should not be considered as a standard and their indications assessed individually after geriatric assessment.
