Bladder Cancer Prognosis (Expectations)
The prognosis is related to the specific stage of bladder cancer and the type of treatment chosen. The prognosis for stage 0 or I cancers is fairly good, although the risk of recurrence or new tumors is high. However, most of these recurrences can be surgically removed and cured. For patients with stage III tumors cure rates are less than 50%. For patients with stage IV disease cure is rare (though patients with only a few metastatic lesions can be cured in some circumstances).
