Abstract

Clinical use of laser in the treatment of urinary bladder tumours has been practiced since 1976. Today, the method is widely accepted as a simple and effective method for destroying superficial bladder tumours. In selected cases of muscle invasive tumours of stage T-2 beneficial long term results are reported. Locally advanced tumours of stage T-3 or T-4 are beyond the possibility of cure by the laser.
