Cancer that has invaded the detrusor muscle can be associated with a high degree of morbidity and mortality. Radical treatments are required, including cystectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. These treatments can cause short‐term and long‐term consequences for patients. In this article the authors describe the current treatment approaches to muscle‐invasive bladder cancer.
