Overview

• Deion Sanders’ bladder tumor was detected in April through routine vascular scans linked to monitoring for past circulatory complications.
• Urologic oncologist Dr. Janet Kukreja said the surgery removed a very high-grade, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer and that Sanders is now cured.
• Sanders kept the cancer diagnosis from his sons by attributing his health issue to a foot problem and drafted his will during the most serious phase of treatment.
• Post-surgery adjustments include dependence on a urostomy bag and adult diapers, with Sanders waking four to five times per night to use the bathroom.
• The 57-year-old coach confirmed he will resume his head coaching duties for the Colorado Buffaloes in the 2025 season after missing spring and summer practice.
