Deion Sanders reveals he fought bladder cancer

On Monday, University of Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders disclosed he underwent bladder removal surgery for cancer, confirmed by Dr. Kukreja from CU Cancer Center/UCHealth.
During a spring health check-up, routine vascular tests and a CT scan led to incidental tumor detection, confirmed by Dr. Kukreja as non-muscle invasive and confined to the bladder lining.
Following initial tumor resections, Sanders underwent two TURBT procedures and BCG immunotherapy before opting for a radical cystectomy, with surgeons reconstructing a neobladder from his intestinal tissue.
Reflecting on recovery, Sanders noted he is not back to 100% physically but feels strong and ready to return full-time to coaching duties.
Amid fall camp buildup, the Colorado Buffaloes football team prepares for the season opener on Aug. 29 at Folsom Field, with Sanders’ health revelation sparking awareness about bladder cancer.
