Jeffrey M. Holzbeierlein, MD, professor, director of Urologic Oncology, Department of Urology, University of Kansas Medical Center, discusses the management guidelines for patients with bladder cancer.

The guidelines were a multidisciplinary collaboration involving representatives from the American Urological Association (AUA), Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO), ASCO, American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), and a patient advocate.

Having a multidisciplinary group brings more validity to the guidelines, explains Holzbeierlein. Bringing together a variety of disciplines educates many people who were not aware of options outside of cystectomy.
