Abstract
The subject of invasive transitional cell cancer in the elderly raises several issues. First, what does the diagnosis of invasive transitional cell cancer imply biologically? Second, what is the efficacy of various treatments and what are their risks? Third, how large is the ageing population and what is the magnitude of the problem of invasive transitional cell cancer in this population? Fourth, how do the health of the elderly, the physiology of various organ systems, and their functional reserve during ageing influence the course of disease, the choice of treatment, and the impact of both on the host?
