What’s the Survival Rate of Aggressive Bladder Cancer?

Q: My father was diagnosed with aggressive bladder cancer. I saw blood in his pee. The color was pink. What’s his survival rate?

A: Survival rate can’t tell how long a person with certain type of bladder cancer can live. The amount of time it holds is usually 5 years. It can estimate the possibility of the patient living through the period.

The survival rate of people with low-grade bladder cancer is from 63% to 98%. However, the rate of people with high-grade (aggressive) bladder cancer drops. It is from 15% to 46%. The more aggressive the cancer, the lower the rate.

Yet survival rate is only a referent number. It can’t tell the whole story, for it can’t predict what will happen in a particular patient’s case.
