I was just diagnosed with a High Grade Urothelial Carcinoma via a biopsy. The Pathologic Diagnosis reads as follows:

Papillary Urothelial Carcinoma, High grade
Negative for Lamina Propria Invasion
Muscularis Propria is represented and is uninvolved by tumor
Lymph-Vascular space invasion is not identified

What does all this mean? How serious? What questions should I be asking ?

In 2007 I had prostrate cancer and prostrate was removed robotically. Does the prostrate cancer have anything to do with the bladder cancer?

Urologist has scheduled another biopsy. What am I looking at here. My Urologist is young (34) and I live in the Charlotte, NC area. Any suggestions on Urologists, treatment or anything else I may have forgotten to ask?

Any and all information very much welcomed. My family is very worried. Thank You wjjjcm
