This type of cancer can be limited to the lining of the bladder, and then called surface or spread through the lining of the bladder and even to nearby organs, which are called invasive in this case. Treatment depends on the severity and type of cancer, but may generally include radiation therapy, chemotherapy and / or surgery.
