How often, statistically, do recurrent episodes of multiple bladder tumors become more aggressive and what is the 5y surv. rate for this circumstance?

Nearly 90-100%: The 5 year survival rate is good till the tumors begins to penetrate into the muscle in the bladder wall. Then it started to spread in the body and carries high mortality.

Bladder ca: Hi, the survival rate depends on the stage of the cancer, the higher the stage the lower the 5 year survival rate, have you tried BCG treatment for this recurrent cancer? It has a good treatment rate.
