A member asked:
Hello dr bennett, i have experienced hardening of the bladder wall after chemo and radio treatment for stage 4 bladder cancer, will this condition go?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Will remain: Best results are for lesions of the mucosa. Once bladder wall invaded, especially with extension beyond the bladder then depending on overall situation, radical cystectomy with neobladder utilized. If lesion too advanced primary lesion therapy may be relegated to local RT chemo for control of symptoms.
