There is a variety of treatment options for bladder cancer, however, they also have risk factors and other factors to take into consideration before proceeding. Some of these factors include the specific type of cancer the patient has, the grade of cancer, the stage of cancer, and along with the overall health of the patient who has bladder cancer. Once these factors are taken into consideration, the treatment options that may be offered include one, or a combination of the following: - Surgery: To remove all of the cancerous tissue - Chemotherapy in the bladder: To treat tumors that are only present in the lining of the bladder, but happen to have a high risk of recurrence or progression - Reconstruction: Doctors will create a new way for urine to exit the body after the bladder is removed - Chemotherapy for the whole body: This treatment option increases the chances of a person fully recovering. - Radiation therapy: This treatment option will kill cancer cells. This treatment is offered when surgery is not an option or when the patient doesn’t desire surgery. - Immunotherapy: This therapy triggers the body's immune system to combat the cancer cells.
