Deion Sanders was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer. He underwent surgery to remove his bladder, which included a robot-assisted laparoscopic bladder removal and reconstruction of a new bladder (a neobladder) made from a section of his small intestine. Doctors have declared him cured following the surgery. The cancer was detected early during a routine scan before symptoms like blood in the urine appeared, which helped in a successful treatment outcome.
