Depends on stage. : I'm sorry to hear about your son's diagnosis. His prognosis, including survival, depends on the stage of the disease, which will also guide treatment. Size of the primary lesion, degree of local extension, regional nodal involvement, and metastatic disease are used to determine the stage. The treatment has evolved greatly, with cure rates rising due to the use of combined modality therapy.

Depends.: There are many factors involved in the long term prognosis. The bladder is a tough spot to have this disease, but i would be very hopeful that there will be a significant response to chemo. The issue is likely to be how to get rid of the tumor and spare the bladder. Good luck.
