Surgery or Radiation: The 2 mainstay forms of muscle invasive bladder cancer treatment includes radical surgery or radiation with chemotherapy. If there is no muscle invasion, one can be treated with a bladder medicine called bcg. The actual treatment depends on multiple factors including the pathology report, type of cancer, the size of the lesion, number of lesions present, and spread of disease.

Depends: On the stage of the disease and aggressiveness of the tumor. This combined with clinical factors influence what is recommended and not all urologist will agree in every patient. Do you know the stage and "grade" of the cancer? That would be a start to a formal recommendation.
