Bladder Cancer Treatment Options
Hackensack Meridian Health is New Jersey’s leading bladder cancer program with the most advanced treatment options, including robotic surgery and clinical trials of the latest therapeutics. Above all, our focus is preserving your bladder and urinary function while providing the best cancer outcome.
Your bladder cancer treatment will be determined by whether it’s grown into the muscle of the bladder wall. Beyond this, we personalize your treatment plan to target your precise tumor type based on its genetic profile, grade, stage and specific location.
- Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer: Confined to the inner lining of the bladder. Treatment usually is minimally invasive TUR (transurethral resection) to remove the tumor and preserve your bladder. We also may recommend intravesical therapy or immunotherapy to help prevent cancer from returning.
- Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer: Located deeper in the bladder wall and harder to treat. We take a multi-pronged approach with surgery in conjunction with immunotherapy, chemotherapy, image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) or clinical trials.
