BLADDER CANCER IN OLDER ADULTS

Course overview

Bladder cancer (BC) is a common urologic cancer that comprises a heterogeneous group of neoplasms. Although superficial, low-grade BC carries minimal risk if promptly treated, BC can be an aggressive malignancy prone to recurrence, rapid progression, and metastasis. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of bladder cancer in older adults, including its clinical presentation, symptoms, and treatment, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
