well it's certainly possible for prostate cancer to spread to surrounding structures such as the bladder. however i wouldn't automatically jump to that conclusion. as you know prostate cancer usually is slow-growing and not usually aggressive. there are other reasons why you could have red blood cells in your urine sample. a urinary tract infection can cause this for example. i'd assume they tested your urine for bacteria when you gave the sample but maybe not. also lab error could come into play. i'd recommend simply waiting to see what the urologist has to say. i hope it turns out to be nothing serious. take care!
can prostate cancer spread to the bladder? . about three yrs. ago i was diagnosed to have prostate cancer with a gleason 5 score (2+3 i believe it was). i opted for watchful waiting and monitoring my psa numbers. yesterday's urine sample showed a 46 score on the rbc. i've been referred back to the urologist and being sent to have a ct scan of my kidneys bladder and ureter. if my prostate cancer were to begin an aggressive growth would it spread to the bladder?
