What happens if you have cis bladder cancer and have decided not to have a cystectomy. id like to hear about your experie?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other Treatment: CIS means that there are cancer cells only in the innermost layer of the bladder. It should be treated as the cells will usually start to grow deeper. It is usually best treated with topical therapies placed inside the bladder through the urethra. This could be immune therapy with BCG (a modified bacteria) or with chemotherapy.
