When determining the type of<unk>  to be performed many factors are taken into consideration. Some of these factors include: age, overall health, baseline bladder function, type of cancer, location and size of the cancer, and stage of the cancer. Partial<unk>  A partial<unk>  involves removal of only a portion of the bladder and is performed for some benign and malignant tumors localized to the bladder. Individuals that may be candidates for partial<unk>  include those with single tumors located near the dome, or top, of the bladder, tumors that do not invade the muscle of the bladder, tumors located within bladder diverticulum, or cancer that is not carcinoma in situ (CIS). A partial<unk>  may also be performed for removal of tumors which have originated and spread from neighboring organs such as the colon. Radical<unk>  A radical<unk>  is most commonly performed for cancer that has invaded into the muscle of the bladder. In a radical<unk>  the bladder is removed along with surrounding lymph nodes (lymph node dissection) and other organs that contain cancer. In men, this could include the prostate and seminal vesicles. In women, this could include a portion of the vagina, uterus, Fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
