In patients with evidence of early muscular invasion, radical curative surgery in the form of a cystectomy usually with lymph node sampling can also be performed. In such patients, a bowel loop is often used to create either a "neo-bladder" or an "ileal conduit" which act as a place for the storage of urine before it is evacuated from the body either via the urethra or a urostomy respectively.

This may be preceded by neoadjuvant chemotherapy. More with reports as this may not be easy to just state without reports. The best treatment for invasive bladder cancer depends upon the person's age, underlying medical problems, stage of the bladder cancer, and personal preference.
