bladder cancer Follow-up

When you have finished your treatment you will undergo a series of tests to determine how well your treatment has worked to get rid of your cancer.

If the results show that the remaining cancer, your oncologist will recommend a urological further treatment.

If the results show no cancer remains, he or she will recommend a schedule of visits. These visits will include tests to see if the cancer has returned. Will be frequent at first because of the risk of recurrence after treatment.

If you still have your native bladder, cystoscopy include a range of monitoring and urinalysis.

If you have had a radical cystectomy, monitoring will include imaging tests of your chest and abdomen.
