THE BEST TREATMENTS FOR BLADDER CANCER
FIGHT CANCER WITH THE BEST TEAM, AMAZING TECHNOLOGY, AND GREAT OUTCOMES. Our treatments have incredible precision and pinpoint accuracy that results in minimal sexual and urinary side effects. Most treatments are done as an outpatient in our state of the art surgery centers with the best outcomes. If you have been diagnosed with bladder cancer or think you may have bladder cancer, you owe it to yourself to see the most caring and skilled urologic oncologists at Advanced Urology.
DON’T STRUGGLE WITH TRADITIONAL OPTIONS
Radiation seems to be an easy choice initially, but it has tremendous side effects in future years including bladder cancer, rectal cancer, radiation burns to the bladder and rectum, and urethral stricture disease. Proton therapy is another form of radiation and there is little to no long term data supporting its supposed superiority over traditional radiation. We have targeted and precise therapies for localized bladder cancer with great results and minimal risk of sexual and urinary dysfunction. These options are tried, true, and proven.

GOALS OF BLADDER CANCER TREATMENT
#1
CANCER FREE SURVIVAL / GREAT QUALITY OF LIFE
The most important goal of bladder cancer treatment is living a a great life, cancer free.
#2
PREVENT CANCER PROGRESSION
The second goal is to prevent cancer progression by utilizing medicines in the bladder or intravenously that can prevent cancer progression or recurrence.
ADVANCED TREATMENT OPTIONS

ACTIVE SURVEILLANCE
All patients with bladder cancer must undergo surveillance as recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines. This is done in our state of the art surgery centers with anesthesia.

INTRAVESICAL THERAPY
Several medicines including BCG, mitomycin, and Valstar can be given inside the bladder to help prevent cancer from recurring or progressing.
ACTIVE SURVEILLANCE
All patients with bladder cancer must undergo surveillance as recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines. This is done in our state of the art surgery centers with anesthesia for a pleasant, pain free experience. This is typically done every 3 months, 6 months, or every year.
INTRAVESICAL THERAPY
Several medicines including BCG, mitomycin, and Valstar can be given inside the bladder to help prevent cancer from recurring or progressing. This is done in the office with a catheter in the bladder. Because the medicine is instilled directly in the bladder, common side effects include mild burning with urination and frequency of urination. Importantly, these medicines do not cause nausea, vomiting, and hair loss associated with typical cancer chemotherapy regimens. Patients can be given oral sedation if necessary which makes the procedure much more comfortable.
PEMBROLIZUMAB/KEYTRUDA
KEYTRUDA may be used when your cancer has not spread to nearby tissue in the bladder, but is at high-risk for spreading (high-risk, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer [NMIBC]) and when your tumor is a type called “carcinoma in situ” (CIS), and you have tried treatment with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and it did not work, and you are not able to or have decided not to have surgery to remove your bladder
ADVANCED ROBOTIC SURGERY
Robotic surgery is a great option for entire bladder, prostate gland, and lymph node removal for high volume or more aggressive cancers. This often has the highest cure rate for cancer compared to radiation treatment. Robotic surgery is done through 6 small incisions as an outpatient. Benefits of surgery include lymph node removal, more accurate staging, higher cure rates, and the option to add radiation after surgery if needed.
ADVANCED TECHNIQUES: BETTER OUTCOMES AND LESS SIDE EFFECTS
Advanced technology provides the best outcomes with minimal side effects. We utilize Advanced technology with 3D geospatial mapping to precisely kill prostate cancer. This targeted millimeter accuracy improves outcomes and minimizes side effects such as sexual and urinary dysfunction. Our goal is to give you cancer free survival with the best quality of life.
