Bladder Cancer Treatment by Stage: Other Factors Affecting Treatment

Other factors that affect bladder cancer treatment include the following:

 
  • The type of bladder cancer.
     
  • The tumor grade. The grade tells how closely the cancer cells resemble normal cells and suggests how fast the cancer is likely to grow. Low-grade cancers are likely to grow and spread more slowly than high-grade cancers.
     
  • The patient's age and general health.
