Bladder cancer survival rate

Answer 1

The survival rate of bladder cancer depends on the stage at diagnosis, overall health, and response to treatment. Early-stage bladder cancer has a high survival rate, with many patients living five years or more after diagnosis. However, advanced stages where cancer spreads beyond the bladder have lower survival outcomes. Regular screening, timely treatment, and healthy lifestyle changes improve the chances of survival.

Answer 2

When tumors are in the early stages and have not grown into the bladder wall, they can usually be removed by an outpatient surgical procedure. The five-year survival rate for patients with early stage bladder cancer is 85%. Fortunately, most patients with bladder cancer (up to 80%) will be diagnosed with a superficial tumor. If a tumor has grown into the wall of the bladder but has not spread to other organs, treatment usually involves surgical removal of the tumor, or combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy, with a five-year survival rate of 60%-75%. In more advanced cases, with spread of the cancer to other sites in the body, more aggressive treatment plans must be considered. Per: http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=47973
