Abstract :
Bladder carcinoma is frequently seen in the geriatric age group. Environmental factors and life style are risk factors in the development of bladder carcinoma. Smoking is one of the most important risk factor and passive smoking should be taken into consideration in married couples. Additionally quality of life is now a well-recognized and important outcome measure that should be considered when deciding the treatment option for bladder cancer. In this case presentation, risk factors and environmental factors in the development of synchronous bladder tumors in a couple married for 43 years are evaluated. We would also like to emphasize the effects of treatments for bladder tumors with and without muscle invasion on the quality of life of the geriatric population in need of home care.
