Expert Answer

How long a cat with a bladder tumor lives depends on the tumor type and malignancy. A benign tumor is usually cured by surgical removal with no effect on lifespan.

A malignant tumor generally needs chemo after surgery to prevent worsening or spread; once it metastasizes, lifespan shortens greatly, possibly to months. Either way, treat promptly.
