Is there a cure for bladder cancer?
We do not have a cure for bladder cancer today. What we do have, in bladder cancer, is excellent diagnostic tests, and easy to administer treatments. For patients who follow their treating physicians recommendations, maintain their follow-up schedules, and comply with the recommendations, the good news is that most patients will survive bladder cancer. In fact, for most patients who present with superficial low-grade bladder cancer, and that's around 80% of all patients who present with bladder cancer, the five-year survival bid is about 94 to 95%. Thus, the risk of death with bladder cancer is relatively low.
