Excerpt

After a long period of smoldering activity in urothelial carcinoma research, interest this orphan disease has caught fire. This renewed enthusiasm has been fanned largely by a more sophisticated understanding of its biology, natural history, and application of novel technologies. Specifically, the realization that individual investigators are less likely to make an impact in this disease has led to highly prolific multi-institutional collaborations. In this special issue of the World Journal of Urology, we have compiled a series of outstanding articles on lower and upper tract urothelial carcinoma focusing on novel diagnostic approaches, insights into predictive factors, and innovations in surgical technology. …
