What are the survival rates for bladder cancer?
The outlook for patients for early-stage bladder cancer that has not invaded the bladder wall is very good. About 90 percent of those patients live for five or more years with localized diagnosis and treatment. For patients whose cancer has spread to areas near the bladder, the five-year survival rate is 45 percent. For those with advanced disease that has spread far from the bladder, the five-year survival rate is 10 percent.
