Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can bladder be saved with treatment in India?
A: For non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), TURBT + BCG preserves the bladder in 60–75% of patients at 5 years. Muscle-invasive disease usually requires radical cystectomy, but bladder-preservation protocols (chemoradiation) are available in select cases.
