Describe the 5-year prognosis of bladder cancer.
5-year survival of bladder, ureteral, and pelvic cancer is 90–95% for noninvasive disease and ∼ 12% for metastatic disease.
Prognosis of urethral cancer is poorer (5-year survival of ∼ 45%).
How can urinary tract cancer be prevented?
Routine screening for bladder cancer in asymptomatic adults is not recommended
The current recommendation to decrease disease-related mortality and morbidity is prompt evaluation of symptoms indicative of bladder cancer.
