This presentation reviews the multidisciplinary approach to bladder preservation with tri-modality therapy for bladder cancer. We consider the quality of life implications of allowing patients to retain their native bladder and consider how disease outcomes compare to removal of the bladder with radical cystectomy. We discuss appropriate patient selection for this important, curative treatment option for patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer.
