When diagnosed one of the questions that need answering is what stage and grade is my bladder cancer?

1. Wiktionary’s definition of a Pathologist (plural: pathologists) is “An expert in pathology; a specialist who examines samples of body tissues for diagnostic purpose.”

2. The pathology report is very important as it will help your doctors know what your appropriate treatment path is.

3. A pathology report is written in very technical language. Because of this it is a good idea to ask for a copy of your report and to have your doctor go over it with you.

4. Stage tells how far into the bladder lining the bladder cancer has grown.
