Deion Sanders faced a harsh reality during a press conference. His life would be altered for fighting and beating bladder cancer. He explained that the procedure of removing his bladder had significantly affected his urinary function.

Some bladder cancer patients opt for intravesical therapy, which means chemotherapy is administered directly into the bladder; others benefit from approaches like immune checkpoint inhibitors, or a combination of both. During the press conference, Sanders said he chose to have his tumor surgically removed, which is called a cystectomy.
