Pathological and molecular aspects of urothelial carcinomas

Bladder cancer diagnosis still relies mainly on morphologic/classical pathology, which gives quickly the most important parameters needed, such as stage, grade and the presence of bad prognosticators (lymphovascular invasion, carcinoma in situ, variant histology). During the last 8 years, much progress has been made from a molecular point of view. Much new evidence has allowed us to gain deeper insight into not only the development of bladder cancer but also its complexity, and is leading us to potential new ways of treatment.
