Summary

This narrative review in The Lancet (2022) synthesises current best practice for bladder cancer diagnosis and treatment as of the early 2020s. The authors, a multidisciplinary team of urologists and radiologists, present evidence-based approaches to patient assessment, staging, and therapeutic decision-making. The paper serves as a clinical reference updating diagnostic and treatment standards for practising clinicians.

UK applicability

As a clinical best-practice review published in a leading international journal, the diagnostic and treatment recommendations are broadly applicable to UK clinical practice and aligned with NICE and EORTC guidelines. The paper provides a contemporary reference for UK oncology and urology services, though specific implementation may vary by institutional protocols.
