✦ Synopsis

HILE awaiting some chemotherapeutic W solution to the problem of bladder tumors, specifically bladder cancers, or some understanding of their pathogenesis that might assure their prevention, urologists have to treat patients by the means that are presently at their disposal, though these means may appear inadequate. Actually, something worth while can be done for many patients today. But how much? And for which patients? If present methods (and they are far from ideal) are to be modified or new ones devised a base-line of past experience is needed in order to demonstrate the effect of the new therapy. This is particularly true if the new program is likely to produce only small advances instead of the long-hoped-for revolution.
