A new type of treatment called photodynamic therapy is being tested in clinical trials.
Surgery is a common treatment of cancer of the bladder.
If the bladder is removed, a doctor will need to make a new way for the body to store and pass urine. There are several ways to do this. This procedure is sometimes called an ostomy or urostomy. If a patient has an ostomy, a special bag to collect urine will need to be worn. This special bag, which sticks to the skin around the stoma with a special glue, can be thrown away after it is used.
