The distinction between non-muscle-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder cancer changes the entire treatment conversation. Pathology, recurrence pattern, previous procedures, imaging and overall health matter.
CARE ACROSS THE CANCER JOURNEY
Sunridge treats patients at every stage of cancer—including recurrent cancer.
Many patients contact Sunridge after previous treatment because their cancer has returned or progressed. Our physicians take another careful look at the current disease, prior treatment and response, pathology, biomarkers, immune function and overall health before discussing treatment options that may be appropriate. When clinically relevant, this evaluation may include specialized immune-function laboratory testing and testing for environmental or chemical exposures. Sunridge also offers physician-directed cancer-risk assessment, prevention planning and genetic testing.
