title: Bladder Cancer: Current Diagnosis and Treatment (Current Clinical Urology)
author: Michael J. Droller
description: "Michael Droller has corralled the subjects' most influential opinion leaders and wrought from each a disciplined manuscript on their particular area of interest...it forms and excellent overview of Bladder Cancer for any urologist, senior urology resident or even the translational research investigator. As the chapters unroll, the organized structure of the compiled works progressively build the reader's knowledge...Dr. Droller skillfully used his editorial hand to maintain a disciplined text presenting scientific data to support any and all authored suppositions....Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this text. I think even the reader well verse in the bladder cancer literature will benefit from the organized manner in which this text presents an enormous amount of information" - Journal of Pelvic Surgery<br /> <br /> "Dr. Droller has put together a small but densely packed volume on the current issues involved in managing patients with this disease. These issues include molecular markers of the disease, both for prognosis and detection, pathology, intravesical neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, urinary diversion techniques for both women and men and statistical consideration in bladder cancer trials. The authors of the chapters represent leaders in American universities as well as Norway and Sweden.- Oncology<br /> <br /> "This book presents a detailed summary of all aspects of bladder cancer and comprises contributions from 44 experts in this field....this text provides a precise synopsis of all contemporary issues in the management of bladder cancer. It would be useful as a reference to a busy urologist in practice and provides a well summarized, manageable text for those trainees sitting the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (Urology) examination." - British Journal of Surgery<br /> <br /> "Insightful and evidence-based, Bladder Cancer: Current Diagnosis and Treatment provides active clinicians and clinical investigators with not only a critical survey of the rapidly expanding research in the area, but also a state-of-the-art tutorial on today's optimal assessment and treatment of bladder cancer." -Tumori<br /> <br /> "The scope is ambitious and overall provides a very useful book for anyone using or about to use ELISAs...there is a lot of useful information not present in many other single ELISA publications..." - Immunology News<br /> <br /> "The book represents an outstanding work, completed by high quality figures and tables and it offers excellent and useful information for both urologists and clinical oncologists." - Neoplasma<br /> <br /> "...there are substantial chapters that focus on the epidemiology and the molecular biology of urothelial malignancy. This is timely - since, in common with other tumors, there has been a great deal of research in this area in recent years. Overall this is a useful book that summarizes modern thinking on the management of bladder cancer. It would be a useful addition to the collection of anyone involved in the management of this disease." - Cancer Forum

  CARCINOGENICITY
  p-Cresidine is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient 
  evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals (NCI 1979, IARC 1982, 1987). When
  administered in the diet, p-cresidine increased the incidences of squamous cell and transitional
  cell carcinomas of the urinary bladder and olfactory neuroblastomas in rats of both sexes, and 
  neoplastic liver nodules in male rats. When administered in the diet, p-cresidine increased the
  incidences of carcinomas of the urinary bladder in mice of both sexes and hepatocellular
  carcinomas in female mice.
  No adequate human studies of the relationship between exposure to p-cresidine and 
  human cancer have been reported (IARC 1987). 
  PROPERTIES
  p-Cresidine occurs as odorless, white to silver-grey crystals and is soluble in water and 
  organic solvents. It is sensitive to moisture and temperatures >40oC and is
