Are there any new therapies on the horizon for bladder cancer?

Something that is now being employed more and more frequently, is called the orthotopic neobladder. Neobladder means new bladder, orthotopic means in the same place, so it's a new bladder created in the same place as the old bladder. What is done is that same small bowel reservoir, instead of coming out to the side of the abdomen, is now turned and hooked back to the urethra remnant; both in men and women. It is a little bit more commonly used in men than it is in women - it's technically a little bit more difficult in women, but that's the direction that we're going.
