Aims and objectives
The goal of this symposium is to present recent developments in the diagnosis and treatment of nonmuscle
invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and discuss how these can impact the patient’s prognosis. Accurate
diagnosis, staging and treatment of NMIBC could be more important than any possible adjuvant therapy.
An increasing body of data shows that blue-light cystoscopy is extremely helpful in improving diagnosis
accuracy and reducing the recurrence rate. In this symposium this new modality and alternative treatments
of NMIBC will be described and discussed. New data on cost-effectiveness of blue-light cystoscopy will be
presented and commented. Interaction will be the main characteristic of the symposium.
