Metastatic Bladder Cancer
Should I get a second opinion?
It is highly recommended to always get a second opinion from a major center that deals with a high volume of bladder cancer.
Studies have shown that the experience of the Urological Surgeon, Oncologist and Pathologists can make a difference in outcomes
What are the treatments for Metastatic Bladder Cancer?
- Chemotherapy
- Clinical Trials
- Radiation
What does stage and grade mean?
The pathology report is what guides your bladder cancer treatment.
It tells your medical treatment team what grade and type your cancer is and if it is invasive or non-invasive.
To most of us who do not work in the medical field the pathology report will look like another language.
What are the commonly used tests and procedures?
The links below will help you find the information and understand their meaning.
