Head Colorado Buffaloes football Coach Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders, along with his medical team, spoke about his bladder cancer diagnosis on Monday morning for the first 2025 camp news conference.

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.

Colorado coach Deion Sanders revealed he had bladder cancer and had surgery which kept him away from campus this summer.
