    Those whose tumors have spread to nearby lymph nodes (stage 3 disease) have worse prognoses; 36% survive at least five years from diagnosis. Those with metastatic bladder cancer (stage 4 disease) have the most severe prognosis, with 5% alive five years from diagnosis. [14]

    Diagram showing the T stages of bladder cancer. T: size or direct extent of the primary tumor Tx: tumor cannot be assessed; Tis: carcinoma in situ; T0: no evidence of tumor; T1, T2, T3, T4: size and/or extension of the primary tumor; N: degree of spread to regional lymph nodes. Nx: lymph nodes cannot be assessed; N0: no regional lymph nodes ...

  4. Lymphovascular invasion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphovascular_invasion

    Lymphovascular invasion, especially in carcinomas, usually precedes spread to the lymph nodes that drain the tissue in which the tumour arose. Conversely, cancers with lymph node spread (known as a lymph node metastases), usually have lymphovascular invasion. Lymph node metastases usually precede secondary tumours, i.e. distant metastases.

    It accounts for 95% of bladder cancer cases and bladder cancer is in the top 10 most common malignancy disease in the world and is associated with approximately 200,000 deaths per year in the US.

  6. Cancer staging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_staging

    A number from I to IV is assigned, with I being an isolated cancer and IV being a cancer that has metastasized and spread from its origin. The stage generally takes into account the size of a tumor , whether it has invaded adjacent organs , how many regional (nearby) lymph nodes it has spread to (if any), and whether it has appeared in more ...

  7. Cystectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystectomy

    A radical cystectomy is most commonly performed for cancer that has invaded into the muscle of the bladder. In a radical cystectomy the bladder is removed along with surrounding lymph nodes (lymph node dissection) and other organs that contain cancer. In men, this could include the prostate and seminal vesicles.
