A member asked:
One's bladder cancer spreads to the surrounding muscles how likely is it for a patient to survive?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely: Bladder cancer can be a very aggressive type of cancer. If it has already spread to surrounding structures and organs, it is an aggressive cancer and has metastasized. Once this occurs, the long-term prognosis is very poor.

Metastasis : A cancer that spreads is much more likely to be fatal than one that doesn't.
