How long is the life expectancy of someone with bladder cancer?
Invasive bladder cancer is stage “T1” or greater. T1 means that the tumor has invaded the superficial (surface) lining of the bladder but not the muscle layer. The treatment of T1 cancer and other non-muscle invasive bladder cancers is discussed elsewhere.
Median overall survival was 12 months. These results may assist in counseling older patients with MIBC if the disease is left untreated.
Invasive bladder cancer means that the cancer cells have spread beyond the inner lining of the bladder and into the muscle layer. There is a risk that cancer could spread to other areas of the body if it is not treated.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: Question: Is cancer a metabolic?
Most bladder tumours are low grade. The cancer cells look very abnormal and grow quickly. They are more likely to spread both into the bladder muscle and outside the bladder.
