| Abstract: | Bladder cancer is the sixth most common cancer in Canada. While most patients present with transitional cell carcinoma, few present with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Risk factors for SCC include a history of chronic urinary tract infection, urothelial inflammation and indwelling catheters. We present the management of a patient with locally advanced SCC of the bladder. |
