CU surgeon removes bladder cancer from Coach Prime

At a routine checkup this spring, doctors noticed something unusual in a CT scan of University of Colorado football coach Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders. The scan showed a mass on his bladder. He was immediately referred to the CU Anschutz Medical Campus where he met with Janet Kukreja, MD, director of urologic oncology at the CU Cancer Center and UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital. After a thorough examination, Coach Prime was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his bladder.
