Bladder & Prostate Cancer Treatment

TURBT (transurethral resection of bladder tumor) is an endoscopic procedure used to remove non-muscle-invasive bladder tumors and also to stage the disease. If the cancer has not invaded the bladder muscle wall, TURBT combined with intravesical BCG therapy is often curative. Radical cystectomy — surgical removal of the entire bladder — is recommended when cancer invades the muscle layer (stage T2 or higher) or is high-risk non-muscle-invasive disease that has not responded to BCG. Your overseas urologist will review your biopsy pathology and imaging to determine the appropriate treatment, and our coordinators can arrange a pre-travel virtual second opinion.
