Little of this inheritance has been explained by rare, high-penetrance predisposition syndromes and, although rare ... http://bladdercancersurgery.net/treatment/genitourinary-cancer-predisposition-syndromes New Developments in Bladder Cancer DiagnosisPR Web (press release)According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 70530 new cases of bladder cancer will be diagnosed this year, resulting in nearly 15000 deaths. ...

FDG-PET/CT scans may provide better accuracy in clinical information for directing therapy.
