If you have bladder cancer, you may have questions about your prognosis. A prognosis is the doctor’s best estimate of how cancer will affect someone and how it will respond to treatment. Prognosis and survival depend on many factors. [cancer.ca]

At present the biological behavior and prognosis of CIS remains to be completely defined. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
