The prognosis depends on the stage of cancer, whether it is superficial or invasive, and has spread to other places in the body. A superficial bladder cancer has a good prognosis, with bladder cancer survival rates at 5 years from 82 to 100%. If the tumor has grown into the wall of the bladder, but has not spread to other organs, treatment usually involves surgical removal of the tumor, or a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, the five years bladder cancer survival rates are at around 60 % to 75%. Patients with bigger tumors, which are also usually less well differentiated, and those with lymphovascular invasion may only have a survival rates of 30% to 50% after radical cystectomy. hospital for Bladder cancer teatment in Germany
