Bladder Cancer

If you've been diagnosed with bladder cancer, you're going to want the very best support. That means the experience and expertise of a cancer center with access to cutting-edge research and a dedicated team of specialists focused on you. 

Columbia Cancer specializes in treating people with bladder cancer and other cancers of the genital and urinary systems. As a Genitourinary Center of Excellence, we offer unique and innovative treatments that are available only at a handful of centers across the US, all in one place. Our research team, which is backed by the power of the top-ranked Columbia University Irving Medical Center, works to rapidly bring new discoveries from their laboratories to your care plan.

Our Expertise at Your Service

When you come to Columbia Cancer for diagnosis and treatment for bladder cancer, you will have your own team of experts. We’re here for your entire journey, from diagnosis to treatment and into survivorship.

Translating Research Into Treatment

Many of our doctors conduct laboratory research—they work to “translate” their lab discoveries into treatments. In fact, some of the treatments used here and at other centers throughout the country were developed in labs at Columbia.

You’ll Receive State-of-the-Art Care

When you come to Columbia Cancer for diagnosis and treatment, you will receive care from doctors, nurses, and other specialists who are among the most experienced bladder cancer specialists in the world. We’re experts in providing innovative treatments that give you a choice for your care.

You’ll Have Your Own Team of Bladder Cancer Experts

Cancer diagnosis and treatment requires an entire team of specialists and support caregivers. Your clinical care team will meet with you to create a care plan just for you, and then they’ll coordinate care across the spectrum of treatment and survivorship. That means you will have expert resources beyond your doctors and nurses.

You’ll Have Access to Leading Clinical Trials

At Columbia Cancer, we believe that our discoveries here will end cancer everywhere. As a person with cancer, you may have the chance to participate in a clinical trial while you have current treatments. All of our bladder cancer doctors conduct clinical research and lead innovative clinical trials focused on advancing new treatments.

You’ll Have a Wealth of Support Resources

We created our Patient Support Services to provide you with care and support outside of traditional medical care. Through this service, you’ll have access to complementary treatments like acupuncture, resources for stress management, yoga therapy, spiritual support, support groups, and more.
