A member asked:
Is bladder cancer serious?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: Most bladder cancers diagnosed in the us are, however, very early in their presentations (stages 0 or 1), and therefore curable. However, a neglected bladder cancer will progress to a more advanced form of cancer that may become incurable and lethal. Therefore, it is important to take care of this as soon as possible.

Bladder cancer: Any cancer is potentially serious. If diagnosed early and treated appropriately, bladder cancer can be cured.

Varies: Some bladder cancers are highly aggressive and can result in patient death, especially those that invade the muscle of the bladder or metastasize to lymph nodes. However other bladder cancers are noninvasive and low grade. These tend to recur in the bladder but often do not kill the patient if they are managed appropriately.
