The University of Colorado football coach plans to return to the field this fall after undergoing surgery to remove his bladder.

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders said Monday that a cancerous tumor was discovered on his bladder this offseason but he is now cancer free after his bladder was removed. Sanders, 57, announced the update in his return to campus at Boulder,

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.
