Notes:
The key events of leading to better understanding of the natural history of urothelial tumors of the bladder are summarized. These were: the recognition of flat carcinoma in situ and related lesions (intraurothelial neoplasia) as principal sources of invasive cancer; identification of the unique structure of the urothelium; analysis of DNA content and the recognition of two pathways of urothelial tumors. A brief comment on the current status of immunologic and molecular genetic markers is appended. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
