Urologic cancer
Radical cystectomy
Removal of the bladder may be discussed for selected high-risk or muscle-invasive bladder cancers.
What patients are usually trying to decide
Patients often need help understanding diagnosis, staging, surgical options, surveillance, and which specialists belong on the team.
A urologist may review pathology, imaging, staging, surgery fit, surveillance plan, urinary effects, sexual effects, and referrals.
Where this fits in urology care
This page is part of Urologic cancer and oncology, under Bladder cancer. Use it to understand the care area before a visit, then talk with a urologist about whether it fits your situation.
Questions to ask before scheduling
- Am I a candidate for this procedure or category of care?
- What testing or records should I bring to the visit?
- What are the main alternatives and why might one fit better?
- What should make me call urgently instead of waiting?
