A member asked:
Is it true that bladder cancer isn't curable without the surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sort of: Small bladder cancers can be removed with the expectation of a cure through a cystoscope. They're prone to recur over the urothelial field. Instillation of bcg is another way to deal with some kinds of early cancer.
