A member asked:
Chemotherapy after bladder radical cystectomy needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps: Chemotherapy following bladder cancer removed by radical cystectomy may be advised depending on the stage of the cancer. A deeply invasive cancer, or a cancer with lymph nodes involved may be treated post-operatively with chemotherapy if chemotherapy was not used preoperatively.
